The
Women of St. Timothy is a parish organization of women from
18 years of age and older. The organization was founded in
1986. We are members of the Escondido Women's Deanery, which
annually contributes $500.00 to the DCCW Seminary fund.
We
meet once a month where we promote spiritual growth, social
ministry as well as have a speaker or craft (given by a parishioner's
time and talent) after the business portion of our meeting.
We also foster community through various parish functions
and social activities, i.e. Annual Christmas Boutique and
bake sale in which we raised over $3,400 this year, Palm Sunday
Bake Sale and a Christmas dinner which we hosted over 100
parishioners. We had our First Annual Tea fundraiser which
we raised over $4,000 in proceeds for the Right to Life ad
campaign for the San Diego Archdiocese. We had 22 beautifully
decorated tables hosted by our Priest Father Jim, parishioners
and friends of St. Timothy in which we hosted over 200 people
and provided a "History of Wedding Gowns" fashion
show.
The
Women of St. Timothy have been extremely successful in their
fund raising efforts for the Parish. We have furnished the
majority of Altar needs for worship, which includes gold bowls
and cups, replacing linens and vestments. We also raised funds
to provide the beautiful stained glass windows across the
front of the church, the Altar and new Easter wall hangings
and dedication plaque to name just a few. We have just completed
funding the social hall's kitchen to serve over 250 people
complete with all amenities for which all parish organizations
can utilize. We continue to contribute time, talent and financial
resources to other parish organizations as needs arise (education,
youth, seminarians).
The
Women of St. Timothy continue to outreach to all women of
the Parish. We are 150 members strong and our enrollment has
been growing monthly. Our 2001/02 Officers are:
