Spiritual Growth for Women in Life’s 2nd Half: A mentored journey with the saints

A series of spiritual growth courses lasting six weeks each. These courses introduce essential principles for the spiritual journey and are designed to provide sufficient exploration to apply to one's life. Each principle is inexhaustible, reflecting the beauty of the spiritual life, which is never fully explored and always offers more to discover.

What sets these courses apart is the inclusion of one-hour long, one-on-one spiritual mentoring sessions with the instructor every two weeks, totaling three personal sessions per every six week course. These spiritual mentoring sessions are personalized to the participant and confidential, ensuring tailored support on your spiritual journey.

Each course has a limited enrollment of 12 women. This unique small group model is designed to provide a sense of community among the participants.

Practicing Catholic women who attend weekly Sunday Mass are invited to join the class.
