Catholic Mothers Council
The Catholic Mother's Council was formed in 1988. Our group was formed to promote fellowship, spiritual growth, and cultivate Christ-centered friendships for the mothers at Our Lady of the Lake. We hope to accomplish this through serving each other and our church. We meet the first Wednesday of each month from 9-11:15 a.m. (babysitting is provided). Mother's Night Out are held on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Rockwall area.
Membership and Dues
Membership is available to all mothers with young children. Membership dues are $10 per year.
