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.
