Walking with Purpose

Walking with Purpose is a ministry of Jesus Christ. We exist to help all women and girls to know Jesus Christ personally by making Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church relevant and applicable.

Are you looking for a way to refuel and be refreshed, make authentic connections with other women, and learn more about God? It’s time to come back to community and join Walking with Purpose this fall at Saint Ambrose.

Our Mission: to help every Catholic woman and girl in America encounter Jesus Christ through our Bible studies.

Our Vision: to create a future where more Catholic women and girls deepen their relationships with Jesus Christ, so that eternity-changing transformation will take place in their hearts—and, by extension—in their families, in their communities, and ultimately, in our world.

Fall 2024 Sessions begin September 17, 2024

Hundreds of Women have completed the Walking with Purpose Catholic Bible studies here at Saint Ambrose and keep coming back. They enjoyed it so much, they kept inviting other women to join them.

After a year in the program women said:

My Catholic faith is stronger: 91%
My relationship with Christ is stronger: 92%
Prayer lives have improved since starting WWP: 91%
My appreciation for the sacraments has grown: 87%
Would recommend WWP to a friend: 96%

If you would like to experience this kind of improvement in your faith and prayer life and make amazing, authentic connections with other women at the same time, register now for our 2024-2025 Walking with Purpose sessions. We will be offering 2 different studies.

Opening Your Heart

If you are new to Walking with Purpose, register for Opening Your Heart.

The Starting Point. This 22-lesson Bible study will take you on an exciting journey closer to the heart of God! Opening Your Heart is an incredibly effective guide to deep, lasting transformation of the heart and we encourage all participants new to Walking with Purpose to begin here, regardless of previous experience with Bible study.

Join us as we explore the core questions that we need to wrestle with if we want to experience all that God has for us.

Discovering Our Dignity – A Study of Women of the Bible

If you have completed Opening Your Heart, register for Discovering our Dignity.

Women of the Old and New Testaments were as flawed and broken as we can be, yet the power of God worked in their lives. Discovering Our Dignity will allow you to learn from their experiences and uncover ways to deal with unwanted circumstances and deferred hopes.

Through their stories recorded in Scripture, women of the Bible reach out to touch our “present” in a tender, honest and loving way—woman to woman—with ancient wisdom, sage advice, and insights from sorrowful failures and emotional wounds.

Learn how God worked in the lives of biblical women:

Sisters Leah and Rachel overcame jealousy when they learned that God offered all that they really needed
Abigail’s faith was so strong she didn’t despair, no matter how unpleasant life was with her husband
Deborah had been given grace by God to act as His prophet, for the good of her people
Mary the Blessed Mother’s “yes” to God—her fiat—changed everything. How else did her words and deeds influence Jesus, and vice versa?
