September 2025
The St. Zelie Society will have its first split to include more women. We initially limited membership to women between the ages of 40 to 55 in order to uphold the maximum age span of 15 years and have no more than 25 members. As we have both grown and aged, we are now in a position to include more women. As of September 2025, our age span will increase from 40 to 65. We will all pray the rosary at St. Bernard Church and then meet with our respective share groups. However, we will have two subgroups. Group A will include women from age 50 – 65 and Group B will include women from age 40-50. Share groups will be formed from the members of each subgroup. Each subgroup will have its own coordinators and will plan social activities for its members. We will have one annual social activity for all members. Our retreat will be open to all members.
Online (Pilot group)
We embarked on a online pilot group as a way to provide community to women who are either out of state or unable to meet in person. Our first group started in June 2024. The pilot group meets online the second Tuesday of every month.
We will continue the pilot group(s) for at least another year as we work to discern the needs of the community, the general framework of the St. Zelie Society online group, and best practices for an online group. We will start phase two of the pilot group in June 2025.
