LADIES’ GUILD
The Guild meets on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 10am in the Picket Fence Community Centre and is primarily a working group which supports the St
Mary’s Parish in many ways. Interesting guest speakers are invited to meetings from time to time.
Trading Tables are held throughout the year and one major event is held annually to raise funds to support the work of the church. This money is used for such
things as paying the church cleaner, supporting those in need at Christmas and other such worthwhile projects.
The December meeting day is used to “Spring Clean” the church and have a party lunch afterwards.
This is a small but committed group which is seeking new members. The group also sometimes caters for church functions including birthday parties and funerals
for parishioners.
