Women of Spirit
The Women of Spirit, an Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus, was formed in 2017 to offer the women of the parish the opportunity to share our faith and love of God through various social and charitable events. Last year, the group held a very successful event to benefit The Joy of Sox which raised $4,000 to benefit the homeless in our area. Since then we have been busy planning new events including a Mardi Gras dance on February 23, 2019.
The group is open to women of the parish, age 18+, who would like the opportunity for reflection and to socialize with other women. The next meeting dates are listed below. The group is still in the formation stage and your ideas are always welcome. Whether you are new to the parish or have belonged for many years, please feel free to come alone or with a friend. We welcome you either way.
If you have any questions, please contact Alyce Rossi at 609-587-6222 or Sharon Zubricky at 609-275-9157.

Holy Spirit Novena for Life
May 31 to June 8
In the days leading up to Pentecost, the disciples prayed for the coming of the Holy Spirit. The Knights of Columbus and the Women of Spirit invite the Parish of St. Gregory the Great to join us from May 31 to June 8 in both public and private acts of prayer to promote the protection of life throughout these nine special days.
The Knights will lead the recitation of the Holy Spirit Novena for Life at all Masses during the nine days. Join us at Mass or recite the Novena as part of your own private prayers each day. All parishioners are encouraged to attend our special events as well:
Candlelight Rosary for Life: Friday, May 31 at 8 pm, Chapel Lawn
Holy Hour for Life and Healing: Wednesday, June 5 at 7 pm, Church
Mass for Giving Thanks to God for the Gift of Human Life: Saturday, June 8 at 8:30 am, Church
On June 8 all are welcome after Mass to participate in our campaign for the Consecration to the Holy Family. Bring a family picture (no larger than 5x7, no frame) to hang on our Family Life Line to be displayed in the Gathering Space. (A photographer will be available for those without photos.) If you can’t be there on Saturday, bring a picture with you when you attend Sunday Mass.
Holy Spirit Novena for Life
Holy Spirit, at the dawn of creation, you brought order out of chaos, light out of darkness, life out of nothingness.
Breathe on us once again, and change this culture of death Into a culture of life.Inspire in your people a spirit of generous welcome for each and every life, no matter how unexpected or dependent that life may be.
Holy Spirit, You are the Advocate. As you fill us with Yourself, make us advocates for the unborn and all the vulnerable, until we are all united in the endless life and joy of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen
