Mothers' Guild

DMG

"The purpose of the Delbarton Mothers' Guild is to encourage the cooperation of Delbarton mothers in promoting the educational, cultural, social and spiritual aims of the school and to provide financial support for its material needs." — DMG Bylaws

The Mothers' Guild conducts two fundraisers annually to support the Delbarton scholarship fund and other school needs, a summer camp fair,spiritual programs including a Lenten Morning of Recollection and Bible study and book discussion groups, and social gatherings. The mothers provide service to the school's blood drive, book distribution, and the elderly monks in the abbey infirmary. They also enliven the campus at homecoming and at Christmas and have a lot fun doing it.
