Join us on a journey to deepen our relationship with Jesus.
Our parish-based Bible study program for adult women is entitled “Walking with Purpose.” The program incorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and monthly talks on relevant study. Our Walking with Purpose group meets on Wednesday evenings from 7:00—9:00 PM in the Monsignor Woods Hall.
Current Study: Grounded in Hope.
In a world where levels of despair, addiction, and suicide are rising, we need more than clichés or positive thinking. Grounded in Hope, based on the book of Hebrews, will help you encounter Jesus in such a powerful, comforting, and stabilizing way that He can become your lifeline.
Hebrews contains some of the most beautiful passages you’ll find in Scripture. It will comfort you and challenge you. Every word of it has a treasure to mine, and those who are willing to make the effort will be richly rewarded.
- Grounded in Hope is ideal if you…
Long to know Jesus with greater intimacy
Are ready to grow in your trust in Him as your true source of hope
Have grown weary as you run your race, and need encouragement to persevere
Connect Coffee Talks
Not sure if you want to commit to the entire session. Join us for the Connect Coffee Talk: Everyone is welcome! The Connect Coffee Talks are open to all women to participate whether the person signed up for the Keeping in Balance sessions or just wants to come and experience Walking With Purpose through the Connect Coffee Talks.
The Connect Coffee Talks occur once a month and consist of social time, a DVD presentation, and small group discussion of selected questions which relate to the presentation. Those, who want to commit for the entire 17 week Grounded in Hope program, are asked to please complete a Registration Form. For those, who would like to explore the Walking With Purpose Program but only want to attend the Connect Coffee Talks, no registration is necessary and there are no books required for these monthly sessions.
All women, parishioners and non-parishioners, are invited to join us for the Connect Coffee Talks. Come and experience a taste of Walking with Purpose. Growing in these areas is a lifelong pursuit, but there’s no better time to begin than now! No experience is necessary. All women are cordially invited to just come as you are for some coffee and a chance to see what Walking with Purpose is all about.
Walking with Purpose endeavors to meet women where they are, giving them practical biblical teaching that is consistent with Church doctrine and uses the Catechism of the Catholic Church as an additional resource. Walking with Purpose has three elements: at-home study and prayer, and small group meetings.
From my experience of attending these sessions and meeting other women who have been participating in this Program, they have shared with me what a life-changing experience it has been for them. It has also been life-changing for me as well. Through our meetings with one another, some participants have expressed that there is a greater peace in their lives and an inner happiness that has touched many aspects of their lives. What a blessing and what a great hope for us who are willing to prayerfully consider becoming part of this sacred process.
“For I know the plan I have for you, says the Lord. Plans for welfare,
not evil, to give you a hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11)
