A Morning of Reflection for Women
On Friday, January 20, the Catholic Women’s Club of Christ the King Parish hosted a Morning of Reflection for Women. Mary Ann McLaughlin, Co-Director of the Worship and Spiritual Life Office and Director of Arise Together in Christ for the Archdiocese of Boston was the presenter. Mary Ann’s presentation, rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, gently guided the audience toward a deeper understanding of the Holy Trinity and the continual presence and movement of the Spirit in our daily lives. Using their imagination members were asked to enter into the actual scene of their own baptism, remember those present at the time, and see Jesus welcoming them into His Church. Following time for private reflection participants were invited to share the memory of an experience of faith within a small group and then with the broader group which led to further discussion of the importance of sharing faith memories in order that they may be relived, passed on, and their importance kept alive.

Christmas Bazaar
On Saturday, December 3, 2011, the Catholic Women’s
Club sponsored the Annual Christmas Bazaar. From the time the doors
opened at 9:00 AM the crowd of shoppers and visitors remained steady and
all were served by a cheerful and helpful staff of volunteers.
Shoppers delighted in the magnificently hand crafted items at the fresh
Greens Table and lingered to browse the lovely and pleasing array of
gifts available at the Boutique Table. The Jewelry Table with its large
and handsome selection of costume jewelry was very busy throughout the
day. The attractive Bakery and Treats Table was stocked with a superb
assortment of delicious goodies and a very appealing stop for everyone.
Always popular, this year’s White Elephant Table was a huge crowd
pleaser. Raffle tickets were available for purchase throughout the day
with the raffle drawing held at 2:00 PM for the 30 prize items the first
three of which were cash prizes. Thanks to Frank’s Franks, shoppers
were also able to purchase a hot lunch and relax for a few minutes in
the Holly Café. Two areas of the bazaar were devoted to younger
children. In the Children’s Shopping Room children could do their own
shopping and were assisted by adults who helped them to select and wrap
their purchases. Members of the parish Youth Ministry staffed a room
where younger children could participate in face painting and games. A
sincere thank you goes to all who contributed their time, talent, and
treasure to the success of the Bazaar.

Seasonal Decorating Demonstration
On Friday afternoon, October 14, members and guests of Christ the King Catholic Women’s Club shared a most enjoyable afternoon with guest presenter Sue Preston of Hyannis Country Garden who demonstrated the art of seasonal decorating. Ms. Preston brought with her for display a large and varied collection of seasonal items including hydrangea wreaths, a Cape Cod wreath, centerpieces, and dish gardens to name just a few. Her ‘how to’ demonstration was highlighted by numerous suggestions such as the importance of layering to create fullness in an arrangement, and the reminder to work in one direction when adding fresh greens to the making of a wreath. In her hands on demonstration Ms. Preston introduced and explained various floral designer implements to assist the home crafter and enhance a final design. The presentation concluded with an open question and answer session. Ms. Preston donated six lovely items to be included in the afternoon’s raffle and provided discount coupons to all for purchases to be made at the Hyannis Country Garden store along with an invitation to attend the Celebration of Holiday Traditions on Friday, November 18, from 5 PM to 8 PM at the store. Afternoon refreshments included wine, cheese, and crackers enjoyed in a seasonally decorated setting of tables covered with yellow cloths and adorned with fresh flower filled pumpkin centerpieces. Dessert and coffee was made available as the winner’s name of the 50/50 raffle, Ruth Donohue, was drawn and announced.
