Women’s Club
Membership in this organization automatically
consists of all ladies who are registered members of
St. Henry Parish. Our stated mission is to serve the
needs of our Pastor, those of the church community,
as well as the larger community within Nashville.
Annual dues are only $20 and the funds collected are
used to help defray costs of the many social and
spiritual activities planned throughout the year.
Thus, we are able to operate successfully without
the need for any fundraisers. Meetings are held on
the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in
the School Dining Hall. Many events occur at other
times during the year and are always announced in
the Sunday Bulletin.
Volunteer efforts are extensive and quite varied,
from updating the Church Roster, looking after the
altar linens and vessels, to collecting clothing for
the needy. Also included are celebrating our
priests’ birthdays and anniversaries, as well as
caring for the gardens surrounding the parish
buildings. Regular visits are made to Bordeaux
Hospital and several area nursing homes.
Our "Angel Awards" gathering and dinner, held each
year during Advent, includes not only a special
Christmas story, but also a lovely musical
presentation by children from St. Henry School. The
"Henrietta Dinner" and fashion show is put on during
the Spring.
We invite you to join in our fun by volunteering
your time and talent. Working together, we can serve
both God and neighbor. If interested, you may
contact
womensclub@sthenry.org.
