Guided by the Holy Spirit

Are you being called to connect with other Catholic moms and kids for faith, fun, and friendship?  To foster a community of women and children growing in love for Jesus as we strengthen our Catholic faith, identity, and culture? To validate and affirm the role of Motherhood?  To play, laugh, and have fun?

All that we are and all that we have are gifts from God through the Holy Spirit, and we are called to share our gifts with others to build up the Body of Christ.

Our ministry is just getting started, but it is an excellent opportunity for building up the Body of Christ in our own, little ways of motherhood and childhood.  As you consider your pledges of time, talent, and treasure, please ask the Holy Spirit to guide you.

The Little Way

We take inspiration for our ministry’s name from the life and spirituality of Saint Therese of Lisieux. She declared her vocation to be “Love,” and her “little way” was to trust in Jesus to make her holy and to practice good deeds and small, daily sacrifices.

Saint Therese reminds us that it is the little things that build up God’s Kingdom and inspires us to do the ordinary with extraordinary love.

Love.  Daily sacrifices. Little ways and little things. Doing the ordinary with the extraordinary love of a mother’s heart. Trusting in God to make us holy as we immerse ourselves in family life and the never-ending tasks of childrearing and homemaking…

Sounds like the Little Way for Moms and Kids to me.

As Catholic women, we can find inspiration and encouragement for our vocation of Motherhood from many sources: The church, God’s Word, the Sacraments, prayer, Our Blessed Mother Mary, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Saints Monica and Elizabeth Ann Seton—to name just a few. And of course, we have each other.

Thank you for your interest in The Little Way for Moms and Kids. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your children.

May God bless all that you do so that your entire life becomes a prayer!
