The May meeting of the San Marco Catholic Church Council of Catholic Women (CCW) was held on May 9th, 2024. Several presentations were made, as this meeting wrapped up the 2023-2024 season. Julie Whitney discussed the importance of “silent prayer” and just “being” with God in the moment. Her discussion was followed by a beautiful moment of silent prayer. Hilda Brosky led a spiritual reflection on the “Woman at the Well” and how Jesus meets us where we are in our life. Jean Gabrys, President of the San Marco CCW Chapter, provided a presentation on the magnificent stained-glass windows of San Marco Catholic Church. The windows were made using mouth blown glass from France and Germany and depict various scenes from the life of Christ. There are a few additional that depict the symbols of the Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, as well as the Holy Trinity. The scenes were painted on glass with special vitrifiable paint and the glass was then fired in a kiln to fuse the paint into the glass. If you are interested in viewing these works of spiritual art, please join us before or after mass 8:00 – 9:00 AM daily.
The charity for this month’s meeting collection was Laces of Love and $765 was raised for the cause. Jean Gabrys provided an update on the various scholarships and charities that have benefited from this season’s CCW fundraising events and from the Church Gift Shop proceeds. Over $26,000 was given to San Marco Parish college and high school students for educational scholarships. Bernadette Dipino, Director of Religious Education for San Marco Parish, accepted an $11,000 donation from the group to help offset costs associated with running this program throughout the season. Many other local charities were also supported throughout the season.
