helping every Catholic woman and girl in America encounter Jesus Christ through our Bible studies.

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:

Touching the divine

Touching the Divine Bible study (Second Edition) is a study focused on the many qualities of Jesus revealed through the Gospel of John. This study draws us 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.” Through John's eyes, we learn how much Jesus deeply loves us, and how His love is the true satisfaction of our souls. Knowing Christ more intimately, as John did, will touch your heart and fill you with hope!

Learn about Christ’s divine qualities:

  • Our source of fulfillment for all that we need

  • The ultimate gift giver

  • Our model of fidelity

  • Our redeemer and restorer

A series of talks accompanies this 22-lesson Bible study.
