Endow is a vibrant Catholic apostolate that brings women together in small groups to share the richness of our Faith.
Join with other women as we study the feminine genius of the Christian woman and her indispensable role in the Church, the family, and the world. The world needs your feminine genius now more than ever. Let us join together to form friendships and strengthen our community!
There is no preparation necessary for the study. We read the text and answer discussion questions. No homework! We use ZOOM for our gatherings and each session lasts 1.5 hours.
Registration fee is $20, which helps defray the cost of the study book, and is due when you pick up your study book from the parish office.
If you are interested in joining, please complete the registration below.

This study will begin September 14, 2022 and conclude based on the needs of the group.
This study introduces women to one of the twentieth century saints John Paul II canonized during his pontificate. A young Jewish woman who suffered through the Holocaust, converted to Catholicism and found her vocation by joining the beautiful Carmelite sisters. JPII felt strongly that the world needed the example of holy men and women during these challenging times, and Endow has chosen Edith Stein as one saint in a vast galaxy to highlight. Her story encompasses elements of philosophy (particularly phenomenology, which was a strong interest of John Paul II’s), and theology and offers compelling insights into Jewish life in 1930’s Germany. She was an inspiration to women of her time and continues to be today.
