Walking With Purpose

Walking With Purpose changed my life. I had lived in Michigan my whole life and moved to Ohio for my husband’s job. I didn’t know anyone and asked God to send me some friends. I heard about WWP when someone extended an invitation to the ladies of the parish at the podium before mass started. I made amazing friends, got more involved at my parish, deepened my faith, started going to confession again, started going to adoration, strengthened my marriage, and inspired my husband to join the men’s bible study. I’m so grateful for this ministry!

Growing up Catholic, I didn’t have a clear understanding of many of the topics covered before participating in Walking with Purpose.

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this group, but what I came away with was a deeper understanding of spending time with scripture, a stronger connection with my Catholic faith, and strong bonds with fellow Catholic women. I can’t wait to do it again next year!

I am grateful for my time together with women that are also on a faith journey. WWP give us the opportunity to know more ladies in our parish.

Awesome experience. Beautiful faith filled women. Leaders are fantastic!

I have loved getting to know women who share my faith. I have become stronger as a result. Sharing our “faith walk” has helped me listen more and judge less, while realizing I still have virtues to work on.

Absolutely love it!!

I love the program. I have met new women and feel comfortable during group discussions.

I started attending mass with my future husband in 2001, but did not go through RCIA and become Catholic until 2018. There were so many things I didn’t understand and I wish I’d had this bible study in those early years to help me on my journey, so I could have transitioned into the Catholic faith sooner. I’ve learned so much from this class, built meaningful relationships with my friends, grown closer to Jesus/God, and found ways to strengthen my relationship with my husband and children. I would do this class again in a heart beat!

I am loving the friendships we are developing…each woman at our table brings her personal life experiences to our discussions and it is always good to hear them and learn about how their faith has brought them to this stage of our lives. They are so kind and try to help each of us to understand the Bible and rely on it to deepen our faith. Beautiful women…wonderful time together.

It has been a wonderful opportunity to connect and have fellowship with moms who have similar aged kids and with moms who have mentorship and legacy. I liked the mixed age groups. The prayers are wonderful.

It has truly changed my life. I have become closer to God and have built a relationship with him. I rely on him during hard times and during good times. I love walking with purpose. I look forward to it all week. Everyone is so kind and my table leader is so knowledgeable. I have started reading the Bible and learning more about God. So grateful for Walking with Purpose.

WWP was crucial to my faith transformation. As a cradle Catholic, I didn’t know what I didn’t know. The idea of a relationship with Jesus Christ was new to me, but it was exactly what I needed.

I found WWP to be extremely rewarding and fulfilling. I would be honored to participate in the future. A million thanks for accepting me into your group and allowing me to share with all of you.

WWP has been life changing for me. Leading women at our parish as a pastoral coordinator has been such a walk of faith and love. God definitely has been equipping me as I go. Working with a team of women that all have different strengths is an absolute dream. We are so thankful for all the women who have made WWP what it is today.

I have grown in my faith and in my prayer life. I have met some wonderful women who have been a support to me. I have developed true friendships. The leaders have been skilled in leading us on our journey! I feel strong support from my WWP sisters here at St. Paul. It has been a life changing experience for me! Thanks to all!

An incredible journey that I look forward to doing again next year.

WWP has greatly improved all aspects of my Catholic faith and my relationship with Jesus.

I don’t feel alone since I joined WWP. I never read the Bible before…I have learned so much.

Great group of women and have grown to appreciate my faith and how I need to improve my personal journey.

I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for WWP. Everything I do at my parish and my spiritual direction has been influenced and started and sustained by WWP. Such a gift and I can’t recommend it enough.

As a convert to the Catholic Church, I greatly enjoy learning about the faith from other women and sharing my own experience of coming into the Church with them. The sincere relationships I build each year with new small groups of women is invaluable.
