Curé of Ars' Mothers of Young Children (MOYC) is an active ministry group for moms with children kindergarten age or younger, and their families. Our goal is to provide fellowship through social functions for moms, children, couples, and families, faith enrichment activities, philanthropic work, and meetings with informative speakers.
           
We support and serve children and families of several charities in the Kansas City area through our philanthropic work. We also provide a network for mothers with young children by giving members opportunities to participate in social, volunteer, and spiritual activities.  
           
Philanthropic Work
MOYC supports many local children’s charities through funds raised at our annual Gift Gallery. We also adopt Christmas Angels through Catholic Charities, hold various baby and feminine needs drives, and help our parish community by providing meals to MOYC members with new babies and/or when a family is experiencing a situation where providing meals would be helpful.
           
Gift Gallery
Gift Gallery serves as MOYC’s only fundraiser and 100% of proceeds are given to charity.  This one-of-a-kind shopping event brings together local artisans and vendors selling unique and upscale boutique-type items.  Over the past 14 years we have been able to donate more than $230,000 to local children’s charities and scholarship funds, and this year our goal is to grow in this tradition of giving! 
           
Unfortunately, with the current health crisis of COVID-19 we have to cancel Gift Gallery 2020.  We hope to be able to resume this great event in November 2021.
           
Informational Meetings
4 times throughout the MOYC season which goes from September to May, we bring in speakers to go over a variety of fun topics.  These meetings are a great opportunity for learning and socializing.  
           
We hope to have a couple of speakers over Zoom meetings this year. 

Mom’s Activities
Most years, the Mom’s Committee plans many fun activities like spa events, wine tastings, and many various parties.  This year, we are hoping to be able to group Mom’s together for driveway get togethers for coffee, cocktails, or just water.  We all need to chat during these hard times.        

Couple’s Activities
We are planning on having similar plans for the couples events this year as we are for the Mom’s activities.  We will work to get groups of 4 couples to meet up outside where they can socialize safely.
           
Children’s Activities
The Children’s committee is working hard to put together monthly crafts that can be picked up and done at home with your kids.  There will be a small cost for these fun crafts.  More details to come.  We also might work to have some small park meet ups if we feel it is safe to do so.
           
                       
We are waiving our 2020-2021 annual membership since there won’t be any large activities to attend.  We are instead asking for donations to go for charities that we will not be able to support this year because of the cancellation of Gift Gallery.
