Biography

Walking with Purpose transforms the hearts and lives of women by providing Bible studies that enable women to know Christ through Scripture and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Founded in 2008, Walking with Purpose engages adult women, young adult women, and middle school girls using Bible studies designed for use in parish-based programs, independent small groups, middle and high schools, universities, and at-home study.

Our grand vision is to enable every Catholic woman in America to experience our life-changing Bible study, Opening Your Heart. We believe that as more women are inspired to deepen their relationships with Christ, transformation will take place in their hearts – and, by extension – in their families, in their communities, and ultimately, in our nation.
