The Sisterhood of St Silouan Orthodox Church is an inclusive group, inviting the participation of all women of St Silouan’s. We realize that most of what the Sisterhood does for the Parish happens organically, not through decisions and plans made at meetings, but because individuals or groups of women see a need which should be filled, or have an idea they wish to pursue with Father’s blessing. Many needs of the Parish are filled by women who give a lot of themselves to provide food for coffee hour, for those in need, and for special events. Women do a lot to care for the Church property, the sanctuary and to support the Priest in all the items needed for services and Feasts. Community service activities are also sponsored by the women. We look out for needs for the children and youth, and other social events to build a sense of community amongst all the members of our Parish.
