About Gift
GIFT (Growing in Faith Together) is a ministry for the women of St. Mary's and their guests. Each year we host two speaker events, giving women the opportunity to share their faith in a fun and relaxed setting. Our guests enjoy wine, finger foods, coffee and desserts and have the opportunity to gather with old friends and make new ones.
Since 2012 GIFT events have offered a variety of speaker presentations designed to inspire our guests and build our community of faithful women.

To gather women together in a relaxing environment, as we listen, discuss, and share Christian topics that will enrich a greater love for Christ and the Catholic Church.
The women of GIFT are a faith community bound together by a shared commitment to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We host powerful, faith filled speakers who touch the hearts and minds of women to ignite a greater love of God and sense of faith. We support one another emotionally through the bonds of Christian love. We connect socially through breaking bread and lively conversation in a safe, relaxing and beautiful environment. And we embolden each other to go forth and proclaim the Good News of the Gospel.
GIFT events are held in the St. Mary Room at St. Mary of the Assumption Church, 7200 Lancaster Pike, Hockessin, Delaware. There is ample parking space available in our lot and signs are posted which direct you to the entrance to our event.
