The Mission of Mothers with Young Children (MYC) is to create an environment for mothers that will provide the opportunity for spiritual, emotional, personal and intellectual growth.   This group is for stay-at-home and working mothers of young children (newborns through early elementary age). We offer bi-monthly meetings on topics of interest, host social events for moms, children's playdates, community involvement opportunities, and more! The group is fun, friendly, and non-judgmental. If you are also a loveably imperfect mom, we invite you to join us. You can be as involved as you’d like.

Book Club:
Book Club is an opportunity for members to get together, socialize, and unwind all while enjoying great food and even better book discussions.  It occurs approximately every 6 weeks & books are decided by members.
 
Faith Formation:
Faith Formation organizes events to help us to become the faith-fueled women God calls us to be. Examples include guided mediations, casual in-home prayer meetings, & our annual one-day retreat.

Programming:
Bimonthly meetings are held twice a month on Thursday mornings and are open to all MYC members. Local speakers present at these meetings on a variety of topics. Childcare is provided in an adjoining room during meetings at a small cost so moms can have quiet time to listen and socialize.  See the website for a list of upcoming speakers!
 
Philanthropy:
MYC members engage in a variety of charitable service projects.  Events are planned in collaboration with local nonprofits.  Members gather together to serve meals, adopt families at Christmas through Catholic Charities, arrange diaper drives, and more.

Events/Mom’s Night Out:
MYC offers members monthly social events.  These events typically occur in the evenings and on the weekends.  The planning board members plan events for mom’s only, families, and couples’ nights. 

Family Meals:
MYC supports members welcoming new babies or facing special circumstances by organizing meal trains. Expectant mothers share their family members' tastes and preferences, and current members volunteer to prepare and deliver meals.

Senior Brunch:
Each spring we host an event inviting local senior citizens to gather in the Koenig Center with friends and enjoy a breakfast provided by our members. In 2019, we had approximately 100 attendees. Our next Senior Brunch event will be held on Thursday March 9, 2023.  

Drop in Playgroups:
MYC members feel it is important for moms to meet other moms in the area! Drop-in Playgroup is meant to help our members socialize during their busy lives. Groups vary on location, day/time, and price.  This allows members to enjoy one another’s company while their children meet more children of different ages in the area, and introduce themselves to places, activities, and classes in the area.
