Walking with Purpose is a national Catholic women’s ministry that develops Bible studies to reach adult women, young adult women, and girls. St. Thomas Aquinas started their chapter in 2022.
The heart of WWP ministry is the parish-based Bible study program for adult women. Run by local lay women volunteers, approved by parish pastors, and supported by Walking with Purpose national staff, the parish programs welcome all women irrespective of faith background, age, or marital status. The program incorporates at-home Scripture study, weekly small group discussion, and monthly talks on relevant study material.
There are two opportunities to join a session at STA: Thursday mornings or Thursday evenings. The groups meet weekly and typically run from September to April (finishing by Easter) and take breaks around Holidays.
