Cumberland Mountain Deanery (Knoxville, TN)

Mahdere Bekele • March 10, 2025

All Catholic women living in the Cumberland Mountain Deanery, Diocese of Knoxville, TN were invited to an afternoon of Faith and Fun with Friends on January 26, 2025.  .

The goal of Faith and Fun with Friends was to reach out to ALL Catholic women in the Deanery who have fallen away from the church, do not attend Mass, or are just not involved, whatever their reasons. Our focus was on creating an inclusive, welcoming, and supportive community for women: a safe space where women from diverse backgrounds came together to share their faith and meet new friends. Approximately 100 women enjoyed a prayer service, an inspiring talk on “A Sisterhood of Saints,” door prizes, refreshments including a hot chocolate bar, and the San Miguel Dancers with fun sprinkled throughout. This event was sponsored in cooperation with the Father Joe Brando Committee.
