We have been blessed by an overwhelming response to the launch of Walking With Purpose at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center!

Our inaugural six-week study, Living in the Father’s Love, is nearly at capacity. To preserve the personal nature of the study and allow time for meaningful discussion, prayer, and fellowship, we are intentionally limiting the number of participants.

If you are interested in joining us this fall, we encourage you to register soon as only a limited number of spaces remain.

The wonderful response to this first session has also encouraged us to begin exploring future Walking With Purpose studies and additional session dates at OLHSC. If you are unable to participate this fall, please continue to follow us for future opportunities.

6-week session on the following Tuesdays from 5pm - 6pm:

• September 22

• September 29

• October 6

• October 13

• October 20

• October 27

Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center is excited to launch Walking With Purpose, a nationally recognized Catholic women's Bible study designed to help women encounter Christ through Scripture, deepen their faith, and build authentic friendships.

Whether you're new to Bible study or have been studying Scripture for years, Walking With Purpose offers a welcoming environment where women can grow spiritually through engaging discussions, personal study, and prayer.

This fall, we will begin with “Living in the Father's Love,” an inspiring six-week study that explores the profound truth of God's unconditional love for each of us. Together we'll discover how embracing our identity as beloved daughters of God brings healing, hope, and lasting peace.

Study Details

Study: Living in the Father's Love
Facilitator: Tina DeNiro
Day & Time: 6 week study, beginning Tuesday, September 22 @ 5:00 p.m. in the OLHSC Library
