All women are invited to join the Society, whether married, widowed, divorced, or single (with or without children). The Society’s objectives are to willingly promote the Christian education and ideals set out in the Archconfraternity’s Principal Rules and Regulations.

Some of the current projects include:

• Sponsorship of Seton Home for Unwed Mothers.
• Sponsorship of an African mission through support of the IWBS Sisters.
• Sewing and laundering the parish’s altar linens, baptismal bibs, cassocks, and stoles.
