The Greater Meriden Council of Catholic Women recently held their end of the year Potluck Dinner at the Rosary Hall of St Joseph Church, Our Lady Queen of Angels Parish in Meriden, CT. We announced our officers for the coming year and then enjoyed a presentation by Maribeth Stewart Bogoslawski, who is an NGO Representative to the United Nations, and on the Board of WUCWO (World Union of Catholic Women’s Organizations.) Maribeth told us of her many visits with Pope Francis and also her recent visit with Pope Leo. She makes frequent trips to Rome and we were all in awe as she spoke.
