Walking With Purpose

Our next women's book and Bible study begins the week of January 22, 2023.
Registration due by January 9, call the parish office at 217-6740.
Available times and locations listed below.




Fearless and Free is a 6-lesson, 11-week women’s bible study based on the book of Ephesians. We often wrestle through the reality that life isn’t easy, even when we are doing the right things. Suffering can slam into us from left field, leaving us reeling. This study provides a firm foundation to stand on no matter what life throws our way. With an emphasis on healing and wholeness, Fearless and Free is the most personal and transformative study that Walking with Purpose has offered.
The cost of the book is $20. Book scholarships are available.

The heart of our Walking with Purpose ministry is a Catholic Bible study program designed to reach adult women at St. Paul the Apostle Parish.

Here at St. Paul the Apostle, our program is run by local lay women volunteers, approved by parish pastors, and supported by Walking with Purpose national staff.  Our parish program welcomes all women irrespective of faith background, age, or marital status. The program incorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and monthly video talks on relevant study material.

The Bible studies:

• present practical Biblical teachings consistent with Church Doctrine;
• vary in length and depth to meet the needs of different women;
• utilize the Catechism of the Catholic Church as an additional resource.

Our local parish programs invite all women to participate in scripture study, regardless of previous experience.  We also encourage women to volunteer as small group leaders.  Support and training is provided by our local parish coordinators.
