About Walking With Purpose
Walking with Purpose (WWP), the heart of our women’s ministry, is our parish-based Bible study program for adult women. Run by local lay female parishioners, approved by Father Wilson, and supported by the Walking with Purpose national staff, we welcome all women irrespective of their faith background, age, or marital status. The program incorporates an at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and monthly talks on relevant study material.
The St. Paul parish program is led by a volunteer leadership team whose members receive online training and ongoing mentoring through the Walking with Purpose acclaimed Leadership Development Program that provides leaders the tools needed to effectively evangelize women within the parish community and the confidence to launch a WWP parish program without depleting scarce parish resources.
We now offer three sessions for women of all ages and backgrounds:
We hope you will consider joining with women on either Monday evenings at 6:30 PM or on Tuesday mornings at either 8:00 AM or 9:15 AM.
Childcare is INCLUDED. We serve refreshments and enjoy fellowship, but the core of our program is the small group table discussion. Guided by group facilitators, women are free to express their thoughts, opinions, and advice confidentially.
Our registration fee is $80 per participant. If this creates a financial hardship, we have scholarships available. Please reach out to stpaulwwp@gmail.com.
We will begin at the end of September and conclude at the end of April. A calendar of our meeting dates and topics of discussions can be found here. In the meantime, we encourage you to plan now to join us!
