Mothers' Club
WELCOME TO COR JESU MOTHERS’ CLUB
The Cor Jesu Mothers' Club brings together our community of Moms with a variety of activities. Just being the Mom of a CJA student grants you membership! We encourage you to get involved through our year round Social Events, Volunteer Opportunities for the CJ community & beyond, and our special Mother-Daughter events. Hopefully through these events, you will become comfortable and gain a sense of belonging to the CJ community; getting to know other CJ Moms, along with the CJ Faculty and Staff. The CJA Mothers’ Club will provide opportunities to ask questions, receive information and learn all about the Cor Jesu ways. And of course, have fun all along the way! We look forward to meeting you and getting to know you better!
Upcoming Events
Please join us to pray the Rosary on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Fridays of each month!
Come join us in this opportunity to pray the Rosary for our daughters, ourselves, and the CJA staff. We will meet in the chapel every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Friday at 8:15 am.
