Women exploring their faith lives – one Wednesday at a time.
Women’s Wisdom on Wednesdays (WWW) is a community of women who meet throughout the year at HNOJ for fellowship and learning. Our objectives are:
- Build supportive and enriching friend and neighbor relationships.
- Explore what it means to be grace-filled women at any stage of life.
- Share collective wisdom to better appreciate blessings and deal with challenges.
- Generate a deeper appreciation for our Catholic Christian faith and traditions.
Every year we participate in a multi-session program focused on a particular theme and also read and discuss a number of interesting books together.
Their Stories, Our Lives: Eighteen Holy Women Who Can Inspire Us Today
2025-2026 Program
Please join us for one, two or all of our blocks this year. We meet from 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. at Holy Name of Jesus.
Please join us for this year’s WWW spirituality program during which we’ll explore the lives of selected Catholic saints and holy women - mystics, mothers and movers and shakers. Through short video or audio presentations and thoughtful discussion, we will reflect on the challenges and choices these women faced during their times. Together, we will discern what their lives and voices can teach us as modern women of faith - within our families, the Church and the wider world. Come be inspired, challenged and encouraged by the enduring wisdom of these saints.
