Relief Society
Decide How Often to Meet


As you counsel with the bishop, decide how often to meet in addition to Sunday Relief Society meetings.

As a general guideline, create a frequency of additional meetings that meets the needs of the sisters in your ward. Do so in counsel with your bishop or branch president and through the guidance of the Spirit. Meetings should be generally held monthly. However, a Relief Society presidency may determine that the meetings can be held more often or less frequently. Efforts should be made to meet at least quarterly. No matter the frequency, it is preferable to always hold the meetings at the same time and place.

Consider:

  • The needs of the sisters in your ward or branch.
  • The purposes of Relief Society.
  • The time commitments of sisters.
  • Family circumstances.
  • Travel distance and cost.
  • Financial cost to the ward.
  • Safety.
  • Other local circumstances.
