Relief Society, which has the responsibility "to look after the spiritual welfare and salvation… of all the female members of the Church, was organized to provide 'relief of the poor, the destitute, the widow, and the orphan, and for the exercise of all benevolent purposes.' This includes 'relief of poverty, relief of illness, relief of doubt, relief of ignorance; relief of all that hinders the joy and progress of woman.' " - Julie B. Beck

Relief Society Birthday Dinner

At the first meeting of the Relief Society, President Emma Smith stated, with no small amount of vision:  "We are going to do something extraordinary." 

What has transpired through the past 169 years has been nothing short of extraordinary.  And women have responded magnificently to a multitude of pressing calls.

As sisters in Zion we STILL have pressing calls.  We must justify our position in this great chain of faith as we are the link between past generations of great valor and our daughters and granddaughters;  WE MUST KEEP THE CHAIN UNBROKEN.
