Sisters in Faith
Sisters in Faith
A faith-based ministry aimed at creating a welcoming space for women aged eighteen and older to nurture their spiritual growth while enjoying fun activities and building friendships.
How We Began
After a group of women from Holy Name Catholic Church hosted a virtual viewing of the Pilgrim Center of Hope’s Catholic Women’s Conference, Father Juan Carlos challenged them with a question: “How will you keep the fire going for the ladies that attended? What is next?”
Irma Bickel responded, “Let’s create a women’s group.” It had been stirring in her heart for a while. With Irma’s heartwarming idea and some muscle from Cristina Contreras, Sisters in Faith began in the Fall of 2022.
Sisters in Faith operates under the blessing of Father Juan Carlos and Holy Name Catholic Church.
Our Mission/Vision
Our goal is to nourish the minds, bodies, and spirits of the women in our community. By doing so, we inspire women to practice their Catholic faith through leadership and services in the home, parish, and community.
