Each semester runs about ten weeks. Topics range from digging deeper into Holy Mother Church, Catholic sacraments, prayer, societal changes and demands, authentic femininity, and the role women play in the world.

A sampling of books studied in past semesters include: Courageous Love by Stacy Mitch, Living the Drama of Faith by Romano Guardini,Live Well, Die Holy by St. Robert Bellarmine, Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom by Ryan Anderson, Fatima for Today by Fr. Andrew Apostoli, Happy Are You Poor by Thomas Dubay.

Moderator of the group: Mary Jo Thayer, M. A. Contact: maryjothayer@comcast.net
