Okay, I know that having to mostly stay home these past few months has left a lot of you in difficult situations, or complete boredom, or just needing an outlet or prayer source or whatever. I get it. That’s where a lot of Facebook groups have come in to play for many of you.
But just in case you haven’t been checking them out or don’t know where to start, this post will give you an excellent place to begin.
I will be talking about groups for just moms, groups for families, and groups for all sorts of things that might pertain to your life. I belong to a lot of these groups, so I know how helpful, nice, and awesome they can be!
Ready to see which ones made list?
Best Catholic Mom Facebook Groups
For the natural moms
There are some great Facebook groups for moms that want to live a simpler, more natural life. Here are the ones that made the best list!
Catholic Hippie Mamas Facebook Group – a group of natural-minded Catholic women, this group was suggested to me by one of my friends who also happens to be on my email list! It’s a perfect group to talk about using herbs, essential oils, natural motherhood and parenting practices, and more.
This Facebook group has almost 5,000 members!
Group Type – Private (you must answer 3 questions to be approved in the group!)
Catholic Homebirth Moms – this group is for those who have had or are planning to have a homebirth! How cool is that? If you need some mom-to-mom support in this area in your life, this is the group for you. It is also open to Catholic birth professionals.
With about 500 members, this is the perfect size to get your questions answered and still be involved in the posts.
Group Type – Private (3 questions to be approved)
Natural Parenting Mamas-Private Talk – I want to grab this quote from the description. “Subjects including but not limited to: Breastfeeding, Babywearing, No, Selective or Delayed Vaccination, Co-Sleeping, No Cry Sleep Solution, Skin-to-Skin, Circumcision, Attachment Parenting, Gentle Discipline, Ecological Responsibility, Natural Learning, Baby-Led Weaning, ERF Car Seat Safety, Cloth Diapering, Donating Breastmilk, Organic Formula, Homeschooling, Birth Centers, Midwives, Natural Birth Methods, Organic Foods, Yoga/Meditation, Holistic Health, Home-Made Baby Food, Bed-Sharing, Elimination Communication, Nursing In Public, Delayed Umbilical Cord Clamping, Non-Toxic Alternatives, and Many, Many More Subjects!”
I think that covered what the group is about! There are over 26,000 members in this natural Facebook group.

Natural Minded Moms – while not exclusively Catholic, this group talks about all the natural things you want to know about, like homemade baby food and essential oils, and just learning how to make more natural choices.
There are almost 3,000 members in this group currently.

Official NFP: Catholic-Style! – from the description, “This group is a branch-off of the closed NFP group. It’s a place for Catholics (women and men) who practice NFP, support NFP or wish to learn about NFP from a Catholic perspective. This group upholds Magisterial teaching of the Church. Please note that some of the discussions are of a sensitive nature (ie. interpreting charts). While the prime focus of the group is NFP, questions of a more moral Catholic nature are also welcomed so long as charity is maintained.“

For a spiritual lift
Sometimes you just need that place to go to grow in your faith life, ask faith questions, relate with someone else in their faith journey, or all of the above! The following Facebook groups are great for Catholic moms looking to grow their faith and grow in holiness.
Catholic Women of Faith (for women only) – a place to discuss family, faith, and parenting life with others who share your values. You can share prayers, ask advice, and be a friend!
At just over 400 members, this is great group for personal feedback and connnection!
Group Type – Private
Catholic Mom Group – This group is particularly cool in that they discuss and talk about Kendra Tierney’s Catholic All Year book (a book that talks about implementing the Catholic liturgical year into your family life). But, it’s also a group to ask questions, get advice, and be supported by other Catholic moms! This group has a little bit for everyone.
265 members gives you the great small group experience.
Group Type – Public
Catholic Mothers – I am particularly fond of the group purpose. Catholic Mothers is a group for those who wish to learn and embrace true feminism and feminity in the way the Church teaches it and Mary embodies it, as well as embracing the call the motherhood.
This private group houses over 4,000 members.
Group Type- Private (3 questions to be approved)
Blessed Is She – make sure you find the group that corresponds to your region. I am in the Midwest Region, but you may be in a different one (just make sure that your group has the // after the Blessed is She to know it’s from the original!).
This is the BEST group for getting just plain encouragement in any part of your life, no matter your position or place in your spiritual journey. It is also a fantastic resource for prayer warriors; every time someone posts a prayer requests, you can just feel the prayers streaming in for that person. It really is an amazing group to be a part of.
My region has over 19, 000 members, and I’m sure there are millions all over the world if you combine each group.
Group Type – Private (I can’t remember if there are any questions)
