Welcoming women of all ages, the Corpus Christi Women's Group provides a refreshing respite from our active roles as mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, girlfriends, friends, significant others, and more.

Through reflection, social events, speakers, and community outreach efforts, we seek to support, sustain and enrich community spirit as well as individual growth for our members. The Women's Group is a wonderful way to get involved, and more importantly, to meet a new friends and families at Corpus Christi. We hold monthly meetings, typically in the Gibson Center, and sponsor various events for families with children under 6 years old.
