Our Lady's Guild
The purpose of Our Lady's Guild is to live and to promote devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Mother, thus deepening our faith and drawing us closer to her Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Our Lady's Guild is divided into three major Committees:
PRAYER
Our spiritual life is enriched through daily recitation of the Rosary after Masses, participation in Eucharistic Adoration, guest speakers at meetings, an annual Retreat Day, spiritual book discussions and making rosaries for the Missions. We also organize and take part in the October Living Rosary and the May Crowning of Our Blessed Mother.
OUT REACH
Our faith is put into action when we help others. In January we help prepare and serve lunch to the Senior Citizens while others are helping pack and deliver meals every Tuesday for Meals on Wheels. During the year we have some project that connects us with St. Aloysius School to foster awareness of Our Blessed Mother. At Christmas time we collect and deliver presents to St. Camillus Health Center in Stamford.
SERVICE
Many members of Our Lady's Guild are very active in parish life taking care of Altar linens, serving as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, visiting the homebound and cleaning the church weekly. We are responsible for organizing the June High School Graduation Mass and Reception. At our meetings the members are responsible for the hospitality, tablecloths, membership, mailings, reservations and publicity.
