MAGNIFICAT, A MINISTRY TO CATHOLIC WOMEN, PRESENTS A GUEST SPEAKER AT A MAGNIFICAT MEAL

Bernadette Patrick of Trinidad and Tobago gave a testimony of her journey away from and back to Catholicism at a Magnificat Meal on St. Thomas on May 27.

Bernadette Patrick of Trinidad and Tobago was the guest speaker at Magnificat's luncheon at Victor's New Hideout on St. Thomas on May 27. Magnificat is an international ministry to Catholic women, with local chapters on St. Thomas and St. Croix. Magnificat was begun in 1981 by a group of Catholic women from the Archdiocese of New Orleans who observed a need among Catholic women for a faith-sharing experience in a relaxed social setting. Magnificat Meals, which are periodic gatherings for fellowship, are an integral part of the vision of the ministry.
