WOMEN OF ST. BENEDICT

Welcome!! to the Women of St. Benedict (WOSB) web page.

WOSB has been a vibrant part of the parish for 43 years. All women who are members of St. Benedict are automatically members. It is easy to become an "active" member of our organization—simply come to our meetings. NO DUES are charged.

Our monthly meetings are held from September through May. We provide FREE babysitting at these meetings.

Do you like to have fun? Do you enjoy spending time doing something positive? Do you enjoy working with other women? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then WOSB is the perfect place for you.

In addition to meetings, we have many varied activities, services projects and fund raisers. We offer something of interest for everyone.


WOSB March Meeting

THINK SPRING WITH THE WOMEN OF ST. BENEDICT

Join the Women of St. Benedict as they present local author Phyllis Testal Monk, M. Ed. on Thursday, March 25 at 9:30 am in O'Brien hall. Phyllis is co-author of the book “Wildflowers of Pennsylvania”. She will entertain us with a slide presentation of photographs taken by the members of the Botanical Society of Western Pennsylvania, some of which appear in the book. Phyllis' co-author, Sr. Mary Joy Haywood, RSM, Ph. D., has visited the WOSB in the past and has shared her travels with us. Stop by and get a glimpse of spring as we look ahead to what is in store for our area this spring! Refreshments will be served. 

Thank You!

The Women of St. Benedict the Abbot Church (WOSB) would like to thank the Cutty VFW 586 for all their help in packaging and shipping items for our military overseas.  We could not have done this project without you help.
