Bishop's Guild History
Bishop's Guild began as an organization for Catholic women to further their understanding of Catholicism; inform members of current matters relating to Catholicism and to promote spirituality among Catholic women. Bishop Newell agreed to sponsor the group, and the first general meeting was held May 13, 1953 at St. Joseph's Hall. Ellen Crowley was elected first president and Our Lady of Lourdes became the patroness.
The store carries women's, men's and children's clothing, household items, toys, furniture, jewelry, collectables, books and much more. Donations of clean clothing or anything in good working condition are always appreciated. Volunteers are welcome too!
