Planner yet for 2024 and this year sold
directly to the USA. Over 1000 women
were helped to plan a fuller and more
engaging liturgical year together with their
family. The group in Catford has continued
providing support and formation for
Mothers and children in the local area – we
engaged in a number of sessions of
Scripture study and an exploration of the
dignity of Women.
The group has outgrown the current venue
and the search for a suitable place for the
activities of the apostolate is under way. A
November evening by Joanna Bogle was
organized on the subject of Feasts and
Seasons and was well attended and
received.
The highlight of the year was the third
Catholic Mothers Conference which took
place on Sat and Sunday 11-12thMay at
the Cabrini Centre in Honor Oak with 100
mothers in attendance on Saturday for a
day of formation centred on questions
about women and image. A creche was
provided and a marketplace for Catholic
Apostolates was also available. On Sunday
we hosted a day of formation and fun for
families - with talks for Mothers, Fathers,
teens and children attended by over 250
people and an outdoor rosary followed by a
barbecue. Feedback was excellent and we
reached out to numerous new families who
have since attended events
The Catholic Mothers website continued to
function well, importing and selling over
500 products to help pass on the Faith
within families. We also attended two
Christmas fairs to sell items from the
Catholic Mothers shop.
2 new local chapters of the Catholic
Mothers Apostolate were begun in Bath
and Surbiton.| ## **Financial Review – 01/07/2023- 30/06/2024** |Review of the charity’s
