This program attempts to assist women in making positive changes in their lives, which will ultimately improve self esteem and productivity.

General goals include providing educational experiences, and providing opportunity for women to net work with other women in the neighborhood.

   This 28 week program for moms in the neighborhood is sponsored by SSJNN and  in collaboration with Catholic Charities. The mothers meet for lunch and at the first session, plan what activities they would like for the next four weeks.

   Each session allows for networking with other mothers and a luncheon. The next five week program is repeated at regular intervals.

   Some of the past activities have included making seasonal home decorations, having their hair styled by a beautician, jewelry making, yoga and other projects.

Speakers have given talks on  inspiration, nutrition, physical and emotional health also talks to help parent and children relationships.
