ST. KILIAN WOMEN'S GUILD

Women of Faith.  Women of Vision.  Women of Gentleness.  Women centered in God.

The purpose of the St. Kilian Women’s Guild is to welcome and foster friendships while providing spiritual and social opportunities for all women of St. Kilian Parish.  Guild members are involved in many parish ministries and, through their events, provide some financial support to the parish as well.  All women are welcome to join.

We meet on the second Thursday of each month, September through June, at 7:30 PM.  This year, because of COVID-19, meetings are being held in the school’s Auditorium where we can follow both CDC and State health guidelines and socially distance.  Meeting reminders and special events are published in the bulletin. 
Pictured below is our  meeting environment - we follow current health and safety guidelines while social distancing.
