TASTE is a Catholic Women’s Program that stands for Taste And See Take... Eat. The Program is designed for a woman wanting to learn more about her Faith and about the Catholic Church. Our speakers are by invitation only and they are on fire for The Faith.
Our Mission Statement:
To REVEAL the beauty of Catholicism through authentic Church teaching offered by priests and lay persons on fire for their faith;
To LEAD women to a deeper appreciation of their feminine dignity through prayer, study and fellowship founded on the transformative love of Christ;
To ENCOURAGE priests in their ministry through prayer, sacrifice and generous assistance in building up the Body of Christ. The
Catholic Faith is so rich and exciting but many of us haven’t been
taught (or we’ve forgotten...) the beautiful truths of our Faith. A common comment by participants is that "I THOUGHT I was a good Catholic, but this has taught me to truly LOVE the Faith".
Come learn with us – and become excited about the richness of the wonderful gifts that
God has bestowed on ALL of us! The
TASTE Program has been designed to take the average Catholic woman and
walk her through all the gifts, graces and unbelievable blessings God
has promised. Each week a lesson has been prepared for you to fall
completely in love with Jesus and what He did and left for you. YOU
are God’s masterpiece and He loves you beyond all measure.
Come
and listen to people who totally love Jesus and want to share that love
with you. Learn how to open your heart to what God is telling you,
through the Church that He left to nurture us.
Come
and learn what being Catholic is all about. Discover the Catechism, the Bible, the Encyclicals, Church history, the Saints, our
Church Fathers – the list is endless. Develop relationships with
Catholic women all striving to love God with their own unique gifts. Talk to good
Catholic priests and stay after for Confession. It doesn’t matter
if it has been 4 days, 4 weeks, or 40 years since your last Confession,
these priests will be elated, through the power of Jesus, to forgive
whatever you have done (if you are truly sorry). What a joy to let go
and let God be in charge of your life.
Relax and come be fed. TASTE what the Lord has in store for you and be filled with blessings and grace. TASTE is for ALL Catholic women and those thinking or wanting to find out more about being Catholic. You
do not need to belong to a certain diocese or church to attend. You do not even have to be Catholic currently, but only to have a genuine interest in the Church. We ask
that you register so we can provide adequate space and handouts. Children
are welcome. Babies will remain with their moms while the older
children are watched. If you home school your children please bring them as they
will really enjoy teaching the younger ones about Jesus. It is through teaching others that our Faith is cemented and we become Jesus' disciples.

“You
are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can
it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out
and trampled underfoot." Matt. 5:13
Please pray for all priests but most especially the priest who baptized you, gave you your first Holy Communion, heard your first Confession, Confirmed you, anointed you, married you, ordained you! May God shower upon all priests many blessings as we celebrate this special Year for Priests.
