Club Information and Mission

Sicilian Sisterhood  ~  Sorellanza Siciliana

 

Mission Statement

Sicilian Sisterhood shall be a social women’s club shaped around Sicilian heritage and a love for sharing this beautiful heritage for all to enjoy.  Our family of friendship will be formed through the strong bonds women share and built through:

Friendship ~ Heritage ~ Philanthropy

 

Purpose

Sicilian Sisterhood was founded in April 2018.  The Club shall gather monthly to celebrate Sicilian heritage.  Sicilian women are connected by their rituals and by their values.  At some point along the way, they become sisters.  Sisterhood is not a bond that forms overnight.  The purpose of our Club is to develop long lasting friendships and acceptance of one-another through heritage, social and philanthropic activities.  Working together and spending special moments with each other will forge a bond as strong as sisterhood.
