Magnificat - A Ministry to Catholic Women

"My soul magnifies the Lord, my spirit finds joy in God my Savior... God who is mighty has done great things for me, holy is His name." - Luke 1:46-49

In these words of the Magnificat, Mary proclaimed to Elizabeth her gratitude for the wonderful action of God in her life. Please join us at a prayer breakfast for Catholic women of the archdiocese of St. Louis where we will share together in the spirit of gratitude and woman's experience of the transforming love of Christ in her own life.

Please plan to come and bring a friend to rejoice in the precence of the Lord. There is an 8:00am Mass at neighboring parish, Cure of Ars on Laclede Station Rd. for those who wish to attend.

About Magnificat Prayer Breakfast

Magnifcat began in 1981 by a group of Catholic women from the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Since then, it has grown to 60 chapters throughout the United States. The chapter in St. Louis is referred to as "Our Lady of America" and it began a little over two years ago. The quarterly Magnificat breakfast meetings bring together Catholic women from the greater St. Louis area to share their faith over a delicious breakfast in a relaxed, social atmosphere. Meetings include a guest speaker who shares her personal story about how God has been present in her own life. This woman-to-woman ministry fosters a lively faith in God and His action in our lives along with a deep love for our Blessed Mother Mary and the Church.
