SGC Playgroups

The SGC weekly playgroup meets every Monday morning from 9:30 – 11:00 am. It’s a great time for the kids to meet new friends and for the moms to relax a bit and enjoy some adult conversation. We meet in small groups of 5-6 moms plus their kiddos. Each mom takes a turn at hosting either in her home or at a public place. It’s always a great time for everyone. If you are interested in joining, please respond to this post and you will be contacted. Approximately 16 moms participated the past year!

A Story about St. Gerard

His miraculous apostolate for mothers also began during his lifetime. Once, as he was leaving the home of his friends, the Pirofalo family, one of the daughters called after him that he had forgotten his handkerchief. In a moment of prophetic insight Gerard said: "Keep it. It will be useful to you some day." The handkerchief was treasured as a precious souvenir of Gerard. Years later the girl to whom he had given it was in danger of death in childbirth. She remembered the words of Gerard, and called for the handkerchief. Almost immediately the danger passed and she delivered a healthy child. On another occasion the prayers of Gerard were asked by a mother when both she and her unborn child were in danger. Both she and the child came through the ordeal safely.

Prayer for the True Spirit of Motherhood

Mary, my mother, Join me now in a mother’s prayer that, through the special graces of motherhood, my little child may instruct me in the ways of God: that its innocent eyes may speak to me of the spotless holiness of Jesus;
That its open smile may continually remind me of the great love God has for his creatures;
That its helplessness may teach me the unbounded power of God;
And that its first feeble efforts to speak may tell me of God’s wisdom.
Pray with me now that its complete trust in me may lead me to a like confidence in God, and that its simple affection for me may bring me to a greater love for him.
And so, in all these things, may I grow in a greater appreciation of my holy motherhood, and day by day reflect more faithfully the radiant beauty manifest in your motherhood, which God gave us as the model of all Christian motherhood.
Mother of Mothers,
Pray for me!

God determines who walks into your life....

it's up to you to decide who you let walk away,

who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.


Father, God bless all my friends and family (who include all SGC members) in whatever it is that you know they may need this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.

Watch the power of God work in your life.

If you don't feel like you're having a wonderful day,

Pray for it!!
