Women of St. Edna (WOSE)
Who We Are
The Women of St. Edna (WOSE) are a group of women from various walks of life — young and old, married, single, divorced or widowed, women employed outside of the home, homemakers, or retirees — We invite all the women in our community to become part of our organization. Although our differences can be clearly seen, there is a common thread that links us all together. In addition to sharing our faith, we provide friendship, comfort, kindness, support and often times help to members and others who may be in need.
We generally meet in small groups (guilds) monthly in the morning, afternoon or evening. Several times a year we have events for which all groups gather together. These can be spiritual or social.
The opportunity is yours to connect with WOSE and we welcome you to join at any time.
