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!
For more information, or to register for a class, please contact Ann Marchino at ann.marchino@gmail.com or text/call 484-535-0575. There is a $10 materials fee for in-person classes.
The 2024-2025 studies:
Opening Your Heart, The Starting Point: This Bible study will take you on an exciting journey closer to the heart of God, help you form a personal relationship with Christ, and help you find answers to life’s biggest questions through the context of the Catholic faith. Opening Your Heart is an incredibly effective guide to deep, lasting transformation of the heart, and we encourage all participants new to Walking with Purpose to begin here, regardless of previous experience with Bible study. 22-lessons; begins September 24; choose 9:30 – 11:00 am or 1:00 – 2:30 pm class.

Discovering Our Dignity: Women of the Old and New Testaments were as flawed and broken as we can be, yet the power of God worked in their lives. Discovering Our Dignity will allow you to learn from their experiences and uncover ways to deal with unwanted circumstances and deferred hopes. Through their stories recorded in Scripture, women of the Bible reach out to touch our “present” in a tender, honest and loving way—woman to woman—with ancient wisdom, sage advice, and insights from sorrowful failures and emotional wounds. 22-lessons; begins September 24; choose 9:30 – 11:00 am or 1:00 – 2:30 pm class.
