 let the Father speak the truth over you - a truth which will
 never change.

        Educating on the Nature and
            Dignity of Women

ENDOW STUDY FOR WOMEN
Beginning Wednesday, January 25
from 6:30-8:30pm in the Parish Library
a new Endow group for women will be
starting. Endow is an educational
apostolate that writes study guides for
small groups of women, making the
wisdom of the Church accessible to the
“woman in the pew.” By offering
background information, definitions of
theological terms, historical context,
quotes from Scripture and the
Catechism, insights from scholars and
saints, and thought provoking
questions for group discussions, an
Endow study make some of the most
profound documents of the Church and
writings of her saints accessible to
teens and women alike. The first study
guide will be on St. John Paul II’s Letter
to Women. Cost is $34.95 per study
guide. Contact the Church Office,
260-489-3537 ext. 3 to participate.
