INTRODUCTION

Circles of Claddagh is a women's ministry group designed to allow women of Saint Patrick's Church an opportunity to grow in their faith, foster friendships, and serve the church and community.  Circles of Claddagh is comprised of five individual circles, representing the general areas where the members reside: “Be” Attitudes, St. Angela, St. Bridget, Women of the Celtic Cross, and Mother Teresa (day circle).

Circles of Claddagh is governed by an Advisory Board comprised of officers elected annually by the women of the parish, and co-coordinators from each of the five circles.  With the approval of the Advisory Board, each Circle of Claddagh may sponsor community and/or church-wide events and reports to the Advisory Board on a quarterly basis.  The Advisory Board is responsible for sending a representative to report to the Parish Council on a quarterly basis, or as needed.  Each Circle of Claddagh may hold meetings and social gatherings among their members as often as they choose.

All women of the parish are welcome to join the Circles of Claddagh or just help out with an event.  They may join the circle closest to where they live or the one that meets their schedule or interests. 

For more information, please contact the parish office at 763-753-2011.
