 DOLS Registration

Any girl Religious Ed or a registered parishioner from Kindergarten thru 4th grade may register for DOLS.

Girls who are members of DOLS enjoy monthly meetings either scheduled at the convenience of the adult guide or the monthly meeting scheduled by the Executive Board in the Church meeting room on a Sunday evening.

  A group usually consists of between four and six girls.  Each group takes the name of a saint.  At their meetings, the DOLS socialize while learning about the virtues of the Blessed Mother and the Saints, and the importance of service to the parish and community.  DOLS earn medals for completing projects in such areas as Religion, Literature and Drama, and Citizenship.

 In addition to their monthly meetings, the girls participate in activities with all of the other DOLS, such as: 

  • The Golden Christmas party that is held each December for the

  • Girls and their grandparents, or other special people in their lives

  • Christmas caroling at a local nursing home

  • A Father/Daughter event

  • A Mother/Daughter luncheon, at which the girls receive their medals

 The girls and the Guides also contribute to parish functions.  For example, DOLS groups: 

  • Help out at the craft tables at the OLS Breakfast with Santa and

  • The Spring Breakfast

  • Bake and sell items at the DOLS Bake Sale fundraiser

  • Decorate the church bulletin boards for the different seasons

  • assist/plan events with the Altar Rosary Soceity

It is requested that Guides and girls serve at two DOLS/parish events each year, to contribute to the success of these events. 

DOLS should wear their baldrics to every function to show their spirit and pride.
Volunteer mothers serve as Guides for the DOLS groups.  Usually, each group has two Guides. 

DOLS provides an excellent opportunity for young girls in the parish to experience the value of prayer and service while enjoying the company of peers and parents.  If you would like your daughter to be a member of DOLS, please contact:
