Mother Seton: Patron Saint of Catholic Schools and Widows. Feast Day January 4th. Elizabeth Ann Seton was a religious sister known as the founder of Catholic education. Because our circle is named in her honor, our circle supports our Cathedral school by donating a scholarship every year.  Our group also sponsors a family from Catholic Social Services at Christmas. Our circle consists of fun-loving Catholic women of diverse ages. We meet 3 times a year, in September, December and May, but the minutes from the monthly meeting of the PCCW are shared with the group after each monthly meeting. Our circle is in charge of the Bake Sale and Epiphany Bingo, along with other duties assigned.

St. Monica: Patron Saint of Mothers.  Feast Day August 27th. Our circle was created when most of us had children attending school at Cathedral.  Some in our small group are now grandmothers, most of us are still in the working world and a few are enjoying retirement.  (we welcome new members of any age) We look forward to the fellowship of our informal meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7pm. We share the many opportunities PCCW provides to serve Cathedral parish—regularly coordinating the Advent Giving Tree.

St. Angela Merici: Patron Saint of Sick or Disabled People or grieving the loss of parents . Feast Day: January 27th.  We imitate her vision to serve the needs of others. We are a very active circle in the church and will help wherever we are needed. We are a circle based on service to others: including our community, school, and church. Wherever the need is, we are there to help monetarily, spiritually, or physically. Our circle leans on each other for prayer support within our families. Fellowship is key to helping each other continue in the right direction towards heaven. We meet through email and text, and try to meet once a year in person. We also get together and socialize when we work events at the church. New Members are always welcome!
