The GFS (Girl's Friendly Society)

St. Peter’s Girls’ Friendly Society, (GFS) is the only remaining GFS in the diocese.
This organization of girls is supervised by volunteers of   church women,
who themselves were GFS members in their youth.

The ministry of the GFS is to assist girls in connecting with each other
and working together in serving the Lord. We welcome girls between the ages of 5-21 to become members even if you are not a member of St. Peter's.

As a result of this ministry, girls continue to take meaningful role in the life of parish.

The GFS undertakes retreats, various projects and  attends annual conferences.
In July 2010, two of our sponsors, Carol Bushman and Marylouise Rutherford, represented the Western Massachusetts Branch at the 60th National Convention in Orange County, California. We are looking forward to the World Council which will be held in 2011 in Ireland.
