Mary's Women of Joy

Prayer and Scripture Study

Mary’s Women of Joy is a sisterhood that celebrates our beauty and dignity as beloved daughters of God and honors the feminine genius so perfectly expressed by our Mother Mary. Entrusted to the heart of Mary and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, MWOJ seeks to encounter Jesus Christ more deeply through prayer and the Catholic study of scripture and Church teachings. Fostering relationships with one another, MWOJ encourages and supports women in their spiritual growth, understanding, and appreciation of the Catholic faith.


Starting in 1997 as a gathering of six women from St. Mark Parish, MWOJ continues to flourish and has grown to more than 200 women from North Carolina and South Carolina. All glory to God and His beautiful Mother!

In unity with our Mother Mary's Fiat and with faith and humble obedience, MWOJ prayerfully and actively follows the Magisterium of the Church and is receptive to the work of the Holy Spirit.


MWOJ encounters Christ in three ways:

  • Prayer
  • Study
  • Service


We serve in three ways: 

  • Pro-Life: We stand for all life – from conception to natural death.
  • Eucharistic Adoration: We lovingly sit at our Lord's feet.
  • Spiritual Motherhood: We support our priests and religious.
