On March 8th, a group of talented, courageous women gathered at the heart of the Vatican to tell their stories of peace and hope.  These women who have the skill to combine inner faith with outer action.

WSG Students Visit NBC4

News anchorwoman, Eun Yang (in green), gave a tour of the NBC4 studio to a group of WSG students in late February.  The girls got to check out all of the action both in front of the camera, as well as behind the scenes.

Here the students are posed around the Meet the Press table. 

It was a wonderful experience for the students, and some have been inspired to become journalists some day.

WSG Newsletter, March 2017

Dear Friends, on February 9th, the Theater Club performed their first full-length play in celebration of Black History Month titled Shine, A Story about Believing in Yourself. The girls tirelessly rehearsed and perfected their performance from September through showtime. There was dancing, singing, and dialogue, and we could not be more proud of the hard work that the girls put into bringing the story to life.

MINISTRY AT ST. TIM’S

At its foundation in 1989, some 28 years ago, the RJM mission center at St. Timothy's was designated as a community of “active retired.” Although there was no official commitment to parish service, over the years many sisters have given their time and talents to minister in the parish. That is no less true of the present community, as you can see below:
