“Live and die with Him, this is the glorious work of a Christian; in a word, this is our profession. If we do not know it, we must learn it.”

You Are Witnesses

The word “witness” has two meanings: to see something happen, and to talk about it. To see and to say. The book of Acts is the story of the first witnesses of the risen Jesus – those who saw Jesus (and kept seeing him) and told the world what they saw.

In this small group, we will study the book of Acts, learn to see God still at work in our world, and explore what speaking of God might look like in the 21st century.

Liturgy of the Mass

Each week we participate in a complex dance called the Liturgy of the Holy Mass. Kneel, touch your lips, beat your chest, walk forward and bow, sing – no where else in life do we do these things. Where did the Mass come from? Why do we do what we do? Why does the priest do what he does?

Find answers to these questions and have a chance to ask your own in this study of the ever ancient, ever new rhythm of worship.

  • Mondays @ 1:00pm (after Mass) in Hobert Hall
  • Beginning mid-October
  • Leader: Chet Lewandoski

Walking with Purpose

WWP Website
Class calendar
Opening your heart study

Our mission is to help every Catholic woman and girl encounter Jesus Christ through study of Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  Our vision for the future is that, as more Catholic women deepen their relationships with Jesus Christ, eternity-changing transformation will take place in their hearts- and by extension- their families, communities, and ultimately, our nation.

There is no actual walking involved!  We use a study guide to do daily 15 minutes lessons 5 days a week, then we come together once a week in small groups to discuss what we’ve learned.  Each meeting is a gift of time to refresh, grow, and worship, free of judgment or pressure. WWP is a No-Judgement Zone.  We welcome all women, of any faith, background, age, or status, interested in studying God’s Word as taught by the Catholic Church.

Currently, we are studying Opening Your Heart:

Join us as we explore the core questions that we need to wrestle with if we want to experience all that God has for us. How can I conquer my fears? What is the role of the Holy Spirit in my life? What does the Eucharist have to do with my friendship with Christ? What are the limits of Christ’s forgiveness? Why and how should I pray? What is the role of suffering in my life? What challenges will I face in my efforts to follow Jesus more closely?

Come every week or when you can. It doesn’t matter if you know much or little about Scripture. This fall we are offering two options:

  • Thursdays 7-8:30pm in Hobert Hall
  • All women are welcome to join this Bible Study in January 2023 or after.  You will have no trouble joining us in the middle of the study.
  • Leaders: Marcia Cochran – (Cochran.marcia@gmail.com) or Sarah Jawaid (sparnapy@hotmail.com)

Basics of Catholic Faith (RCIA)

If you are new to the faith or the Catholic Church, or if you are returning after being away for awhile, our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the place to start. Beginning in September we will hold classes for those who are interested in exploring what it means to be Catholic. After taking the classes, any who wish to join the journey of the Church will be welcomed in at Easter.

Book Studies

We have a mix of newly forming and ongoing midday book study groups. These groups read a mix of classic and contemporary authors, leading to good discussion and new friendships. If you are interested in joining a book study, contact Calvin Smith for current offerings.
