Come Join with Other Moms
Whenever your family reality allows! During the school year (September – May) we’ll reflect together on the next Sunday’s Gospel (which can be hard to do at Mass with little ones) and talk over a helpful mom principle/challenge (leaning on the wisdom of Maria Montessori). Bring your little ones. This is a very flexible mom-and-little-ones environment! Choose the group time that works best for your family, and invite a friend!
Thursday Evening
- Thursdays
- 5:30–6:30 pm
- Valley Community Center (4444 Fuller Rd., West Des Moines)
For summer months, we will meet once a month. Our next Thursday evening meet up is August 20. Beginning in September and throughout the school year, we will meet the first and third Thursday of the month.
Friday Mornings
- Fridays, September-May
- 9:30-11:00 am
- Valley Community Center (4444 Fuller Rd., West Des Moines)
One Friday a month (typically the first Friday) we do NOT meet at the community center, but meet here at St. Francis (in the Youth Room) for a Flourish Retreat morning. Same time. Come take some personal quiet time or discuss a provided theme with other moms.
We are pleased to offer limited childcare on retreat mornings. To ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all children, advance registration is required. Due to staffing and room capacity, we are unable to accept drop-ins. Childcare registration opens one week prior to the retreat day. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our kids safe and cared for!
Childcare sign-up
Retreat dates for 2026-2027: September 4, October 9, November 6, December 4, January 8, , February 5, March 5, April 2 and May 7.
