WOMEN’S CLUB

The Our Lady of Perpetual Help Women’s Club has been offering social, spiritual, and charitable opportunities to all members for nearly 70 years. Through our many efforts, the Women’s Club’s 34 dynamic guilds continue to be the largest contributor to the OLPH Parish budget.

• Each guild has up to 30 members with one guild leader.
• Monthly meetings take place in a guild member’s home.
• The guild leader attends the monthly Board Meeting and brings back information to the group.
• All guild members participate in service activities.
• Many guilds are involved in fundraising and social events, as well.
• Guild membership offers the opportunity to make life-long friendships.
• Guild membership provides an opportunity to be actively connected to our Parish life.
• Guild meetings typically take place the second Wednesday or Thursday evening of the month at a Guild member’s house. Women’s Club Board Guild leader meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month at 9:00 am in McDonnell Hall [4], September through May.

Women's Club History

The Our Lady of Perpetual Help Women’s Club, originally called the Altar and Rosary Society, was established in 1939. The group reorganized in 1942 and became known as the Glenview Catholic Women’s Club. In 1970, new bylaws were adopted along with our current name.

The guild system of organization is used for the purpose of uniting members more closely. All the guilds, in their unity through common objectives and governed by a board of directors, become one large parochial unit. Through this unity of purpose and government, our Pastor and Moderator are able to reach every individual member.

Today, the OLPH Women’s Club has over 700 active members and 100 associate members in 32 guilds with no more than 30 members each. The guild system works individually and as a unit to promote events of a spiritual, fundraising, service, and social nature.
