Sisterhood's Cluster system is a vibrant extension of the different lives we lead, and the different interests we share. Day Cluster events are usually Wednesday lunchtime meetings. Parent Council meets either during the weekday or on Sunday mornings at the Religious School and Evening Cluster meets after work hours. All Sisterhood members are welcome to participate in all three Clusters' activities.
