Walking with Purpose
Walking with Purpose’s mission is to help every Catholic woman and girl in America to open her heart to Jesus Christ.
Are you interested in getting together with a group of women to explore your Catholic faith? Would you like to see how the Scriptures apply to your everyday life? The Walking with Purpose Bible Studies present an array of topics, such as prayer, trusting in God’s plan for our lives, our true source of fulfillment, the role of the Holy Spirit in the Church, loving one another better, and learning how to forgive, in a dynamic and relevant way.
The Bible Studies consist of three elements:
- At-home study intended to encourage daily scripture reading.
- Weekly small group discussions in a Parish setting, or virtually, facilitated by Walking with Purpose leadership team members.
- Monthly Connect Coffees (free) for fellowship and to watch an inspiring video on a topic related to the study.
All women are welcome to attend the Connect Coffees or sit in on a weekly discussion group at any time. We look forward to meeting you!

Touching the Divine: This study focuses on qualities of Jesus revealed through the Gospel of John. During this study, we will be drawn into a deeper, loving relationship with Jesus as we reflect on His life and personality. Saint John referred to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” and as we study, John will teach us how much Jesus loves us and how His love is the true satisfaction of our souls.
Tuesdays, 22-lessons; begins September 30; choose 9:30 - 11:00 am or 1:00 - 2:30 pm class.

Rooted and Radiant: In this study we’ll walk through the book of Colossians verse by verse. We will seek to understand the challenges that faced the Colossians, recognizing that they are remarkably similar to our own challenges today. In a world increasingly plagued with confusion and chaos, you are invited to encounter the God of clarity and peace. Let Christ reveal Himself to you as He truly is and transform you into the woman that our world so desperately needs.
Wednesday evenings, 6 lessons discussed over 10 weeks, including weekly videos; begins 9/17/25, and runs through 12/3/25, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.
