Walking with Purpose

The heart of our ministry is our parish-based Bible study program for adult women. Run by local lay women volunteers, approved by parish pastors, and supported by Walking with Purpose national staff, our parish programs welcome all women irrespective of faith background, age, or marital status. The program incorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and monthly talks on relevant study material.

Each parish program is led by a volunteer leadership team whose members receive online training and ongoing mentoring through our acclaimed leadership development program. The Walking with Purpose leadership development program gives leaders the tools needed to effectively evangelize women in the parish community and the confidence to launch a WWP parish program without depleting scarce parish resources.

If you attend WWP as a part of a parish program, you'll meet weekly either to discuss the lesson or watch an inspirational video at a Connect Coffee. Classes meet for about 90 minutes weekly, usually beginning in September and ending in April. Most programs schedule breaks around holidays to coincide with local school calendars, and many programs offer childcare.

Upcoming Study:

Passionate Discipleship Bible Study

Call the Parish Office to sign up by Monday, August 17th.

Classes will begin Monday, August 31st at 6:30 pm in the Bosco Center.

Throughout Church history, men and women have spent their lives on mission, committed to spreading the gospel message. They were disciples who made disciples. What does that look like for the Catholic woman today? How do we practically follow in their footsteps, ensuring that the message of Jesus Christ continues to reach every nation and generation?

Passionate Discipleship is a Bible study focused on equipping women to know Christ and to make Him known. Throughout this Bible study, we will study 2 Timothy verse by verse as we immerse ourselves in Paul’s last and deeply personal letter to his beloved friend and mentee, Timothy.

Passionate Discipleship is ideal if you...

  • Want to explore the heritage of faith we have received from the Church

  • Desire to become a true, dynamic disciple of Jesus Christ

  • Are ready to pass the torch of faith to the next generation
