Our purpose is to bring together Catholic women who desire to grow closer to Christ through Scripture and Scripture-based readings as well as through stories of the saints and saints-to-be. Through study, discussion and fellowship, we will deepen our understanding of our Catholic faith and develop the special bond of Christ-centered friendships and community.
Purpose
We will draw on resources such as Walking With Purpose and Blessed Is She women’s studies, the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible as well as various authors of faith-based books to be enlightened and to grow in faith, in knowledge and in community.
Our studies are offered in an environment of mutual encouragement and support. As such, we offer our studies with the values of confidentiality, authenticity, respect, positivity and inclusivity. Participants are expected to be prepared to discuss each week’s assignment. However, we understand that sometimes life prevents us from being able to complete the readings. Your commitment to the group includes your commitment to attend each session but we understand unforeseen circumstances may cause you to be less prepared than you’d like or to miss a session.
REGISTRATION for each study is limited to 24 women.
WAITING LISTS will be maintained once registration is full. To add your name to the waiting list, please email: Peggy Bolstetter at peggybolstetter@gmail.com.
FEES are limited to the cost of materials and are non-refundable. Materials will be ordered by the Director of Adult Faith Formation. Payment must be made at the time of registration.
Please Note:We will adhere to the COVID-19 policies our parish has in place at the time of each study. We very much appreciate your understanding and cooperation. -
