Welcome to the SMM Women’s Guild! We are glad you are here and hope you will find a welcoming place to grow in faith and community.
The SMM Women’s Guild renews its membership each year, giving every woman a fresh opportunity to be part of this active and engaged group of women. With more than 400 members, the Guild is organized into small groups called Circles. Circles are welcoming groups of women who gather throughout the year for friendship, faith, and service.
Each Circle brings together women in similar stages of life. Whether you are single, married, divorced, widowed, newly married, a young professional, a mom, an empty nester, or in another season of life, there is a Circle where you can feel at home. We currently have 11 Circles, ranging from women in their 20s to women in their 90s. Take the quiz below to find out which Cirlce sounds like a fit for you!

Q & A about Membership
Q: I know what circle I want to join. What is the next step?
A: Simply enter your contact details, select your circle and pay your dues HERE. Voila! You are officially a member!
Q: Do I have to be Catholic to join?
A: You don't have to be Catholic to join. While most members are Catholic women, everyone is on their own spiritual journey.
Q: Do I have to be a member of St. Margaret Mary to join?
A: While most are members of St. Margaret Mary, we do embrace women from other parishes as well.
Q: What is required of a guild member?
A: Two things. Pay your dues and stay engaged with your circle. Not every member can attend every meeting and that is okay. Circles are all designed to be there for you in whatever stage of life you are in.
Q: What are the benefits of becoming a member?
A: Making friends you can grow through life with. We look to the wisdom of the ladies from circles 5 & 7 - many have been in the guild for 70+ years. They grew up together, raised children together, served the parish together, weathered life's ups and downs together and are still having fun - together - in their 80s and 90s. If that kind of friendship is your jam, you have come to the right place! Plus we throw some pretty great parties and get a lot of great projects done both in the parish and in the community.
Q: How do I figure out what circle to join?
A: There are three ways to discern which circle is right for you. You can take our handy quiz and get a recommendation sent to your email inbox, you can read descriptions of our circles, or you can talk to our new member liaison. Check out the links below:
