JOIN US FOR THE PARISH COUNCIL OF CATHOLIC WOMEN CRAFT FAIR: Come, Shop and See on Nov. 6

Women don’t always have a chance to be together and share their faith. Life, work, and other commitments can get in the way. The Parish Council of Catholic Women, or PCCW, is offering an opportunity for fun, shopping, and fellowship from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 6.

All of the funds made at the Craft Fair will go right to St. Peter Catholic Church for needs at the altar, sanctuary, and various other items. The Craft Fair will have a wide variety of vendors, for which PCCW President Anne Hatch is excited. There will also be breakfast, lunch, and a raffle.

“The success of our craft fair now will really count on people coming and bringing their friends for a fun fall experience,” Anne says. “We will have many fun options to look through.”

Anne hopes this can be a way for friends — and even strangers — to spend time together to benefit St. Peter Catholic Church.

All women of the parish are automatically members of the PCCW. For Anne, it has been a great way to meet women, having not grown up in Lincoln. She became active in the PCCW in 2017 and says that it’s made her feel at home at St. Peter Catholic Church.

“All are invited to join us for fellowship, prayer, and in supporting the needs of our parish community,” Anne says. “Our objective is to serve the needs of the women of our parish and to unite all women of St. Peter Catholic Church in spiritual, educational, and social activities.”

The PCCW is organized into circles, and the purpose of the group is prayer, fellowship, study, and service. Anne loves having a group where she knows she shares the same faith with each member. She admits that, at first, she was a little nervous to start attending PCCW. But when she went to play the dice game Bunco, she found that she enjoyed herself and the company of the other women.

“The women bring out some of the most beautiful parts of who I am and who I aspire to be,” Anne says. “It has been a blessing to get to know so many women and their families.”

All are invited to come and check out the Craft Fair on Nov. 6. All women of the parish are invited to get more involved at St. Peter Catholic Church, and become actively involved with the PCCW — please send an email to stpeterspccw@gmail.com to learn more.
