ENDOW (Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Woman) groups are small group communities that meet weekly to read and discuss Church teachings and grow in the Catholic faith. We read the text aloud during the meeting, so no preparation is required.
Our previous semester-long studies have included JP II's Letter to Women, Salvifici Doloris (On the Christian Meaning of Suffering), and St. Teresa of Avila|Teacher of Prayer. Since the pandemic, we've usually held two groups: a morning in-person group and an evening Zoom group.
The week of Jan. 30, 2023, we will start up two Endow groups this spring semester, studying either Mother of the Redeemer (Redemptoris Mater) (Mon. night Zoom group) or St. Hildegard: Discovering the Doctors of the Church (Wed. morning in-person group).
