Letter to Women Endow Study
                                                                                                           10:30 AM-12 PM | JANUARY 13
                   This foundational study for women is great for those first experiencing Endow. Endow stands for Educating on the
                Nature and Dignity of Women. This study is also wonderful for those who want a refresher on the beauty of Pope
                St. John Paul II's writings. Written for the occasion of the 1995 Fourth United Nations Conference on Women, this
                letter is the perfect introduction to the Christian concept of woman and her indispensable role in the Church, the
                family, society, and the world.
                   This study begins at 10:30 am on Thursday, January 13 and ends by March 10. Purchase your study guide at https://
                endow-groups.myshopify.com/products/letter-to-women and then email Ann Gonsalves at awgonsalves@satx.rr.com
                to be included on the class roster. The cost of the study is $34.95. All of the study is done completely in class; that
means no homework! Join other women to learn about our Catholic faith and Church teachings in a casual and friendly environment.
