Upcoming Events

Recess for Moms will be in session soon!

"Saying No, Setting Boundaries"

Our first "Recess for Mom's" was a great success. We had a group of women come together to learn and to share on the topic of bullying. Please join us for our next session of "Recess for Mom's" which is scheduled for May 22, 2013 at 9:30 A.M. at the Joliet Franciscan Center, 1433 Essington Road, Joliet, IL.

The Topic for this session is called "Saying No, Setting Boundaries." Our presenter will be a counselor from Guardian Angels Community Services here in Joliet.

"Recess for Moms" is a program especially designed for women with school age children. During the school year, the sessions will be held monthly and they will address topics that were suggested by the mom themselves.

There is no charge to attend, but for our planning purposes, reservations are requested. To reserve a spot for yourself and your friends, please contact the Joliet Franciscan Sisters at (815) 725-8735 x 116 or reserve by email at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
