Our MomCo group is designed to empower you during your motherhood journey. We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together. MomCo at Prince of Peace (active September- May) consists of an official meetup one morning a month where you’ll hear from expert speakers & MomCo teachings ranging in topic from parenting & motherhood to personal growth & family life. You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy an uninterrupted breakfast, have honest conversations with other mothers, and maybe even get a much needed break from the marathon that we call life! In addition to our monthly meetings, we organize a Mom’s Night Out, playdates, and additional small group outings each month. We’d love to meet you and help you grow your mom community! *Registration for the 25'/26' school year will be open through Sept 14, 2025 to ensure we meet as many new moms as possible this year. Please note we prefer a deadline of Sept 1st for returning moms. Thank you in advance for helping us to best plan for the year!
