Mission Statement

About Our Group

The Mother to Mother Ministry began in September 1995 at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Newburgh. Since that time, the group has reached beyond the walls of the church to welcome new families and to let women know that mothering matters.

 

Our Mission Statement

We, Mother to Mother Ministry of the Church of St. John the Baptist, Newburgh, declare it our primary purpose to provide an intimate, safe atmosphere where women come and find encouragement, instruction, prayer time, and caring friends.

 

Mother to Mother is

• A Catholic women’s group where mothers can come to know Jesus in a personal way;

• A place where women can freely express feelings on motherhood, blending together frustrations, successes, and experiences;

• A place where women will find emotional support during times of illness or death;

• A place where mothers help welcome mothers home with new babies.

 

Our Invitation

Our doors are open to all mothers, including those of other parishes and faiths. We welcome “seasoned” mothers to share their wisdom and experience as well as first-time expecting mothers to share their joys and anticipations. New members are welcome at any time during the year. Whether you have lived in the area your entire life or just moved here from far away, you will find our group to be a supportive community during your journey through motherhood.

​

We meet the first and third Thursdays of the month from 9-11 AM August through May. Our schedule may be found here.
