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.
Ladies of the Light: Radiating the Wonder of Our Catholic Christian Faith
2024-2025 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.
“…The Church is herself a woman: a daughter, a bride and a mother."
Quote by Pope Francis at the 2024 International Conference: Women in the Church - Builders of Humanity,
Pope Francis highlighted the significance of acknowledging and valuing women's contributions within the people of God, and called for unity, discernment and collaboration to achieve this goal. He emphasized that the contributions of women – characterized by tenderness and compassion - are needed more than ever to restore humanity’s true identity in the midst of the hateful, unjust and sometimes violent challenges and conflicts of today’s world.
As Catholic women, we are called to live out the beauty of our femininity in ways that bring glory and honor to God and the Church and life to the world. In this year’s WWW program, we’ll focus on how we might do that. We’ll listen to the ideas of a number of Catholic women and discuss how to better develop and share our own unique spiritual gifts.
