WINGS is a faith enrichment group formed to encourage its members to learn and grow in their Catholic faith and to be aware of their unique spiritual gifts so as to benefit the larger Christian community and to build up the kingdom here on earth. WINGS welcomes women of ALL ages and ALL life situations– single, married, separated, divorced, widowed or in the religious life.

Realizing that God also speaks in the ongoing stories of peoples’ lives, small faith sharing groups are a part of the WINGS program. Women discern the movement of God in their individual and communal lives, form bonds of friendship, pray and share conversation around the morning’s topic. Child care is an essential component of the ministry. A warm and secure environment for young children will be provided.

WINGS meets weekly and has three different “seasons,” focusing on three areas of growth. Inspiring and well-informed speakers as well as an opportunity for questions and discussions are included in the weekly sessions. The fall season explores Catholic tradition and teachings through catechetical study; the winter season involves study and sharing on Scripture; and the spring season, known as the “Faith Focus” season encourages women to discern ways of practicing their faith in their personal, professional and family life, the community and the world.

We are very excited about this program & extend an invitation to ALL women who may be interested. If you have questions, download the brochures above and/or contact Holly Clark or Patricia Mikus at the parish office (508-947-0444).

Donations welcome! All are welcome!

Seasonal donations help to defray our expenses, including stipends for speakers, study materials, hospitality and childcare. Without the generosity of “time, talent & treasure” of so many women we would not be able to offer the quality programs that we currently enjoy and make WINGS available to all women regardless of their ability to pay. To register please pick up a form at the church entry or at the Sacred Heart Parish Office or download from the Sacred Heart website.
