Walking With Purpose
We invite you to grow in knowledge of your Catholic faith and your relationship with Jesus Christ! Walking With Purpose is a bible study created just for women and aims to help us all enjoy a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ through the study of God’s Holy Word in Sacred Scripture.
Beginning in October 2024, two studies will be offered and running concurrently. The first study, Opening Your Heart is our foundational study and we encourage all participants – particularly those who have not completed it, to begin with Opening Your Heart. Our second study, for those who have already completed Opening Your Heart, will be Touching the Divine, a walk through the Gospel of John. Please find information about both studies below:
Opening Your Heart – A Foundational Study
Opening Your Heart is an effective guide to deep, lasting transformation of the heart, and we encourage all participants new to Walking with Purpose to begin their journey here, regardless of previous experience with Bible study.
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?

Touching the Divine – A Study of the Gospel of John
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
Our Walking With Purpose study takes place on Monday mornings (in person) at 9 a.m. or on Wednesday evenings (online via zoom) at 7 p.m. We’d love for you to join us!
