In the Circle

I find myself
in the circle
having walked an open path

around and round
in peacefulness
within a labyrinth

with each step
my joys and tears
with other women shared

burdens lifted
on the journey
to the center where

I find myself
in the circle
I did not walk alone

sitting with me
here the Father
the Spirit, and the Son

together we
will journey out
a path I know so well

renewed in faith
with strength and love
I found here in the circle

The Circle of Catholic Women Program:

Encourages women to explore their spirituality and live their faith

  • topics cover prayer, traditions, relationships, role models, values, discernment, and life balance
  • journal prompts encourage deeper personal reflection and application to daily life
  • Bible verses and references to Catholic documents reinforce Catholic teachings
  • stories and quotations in the margins offer ideas, perspective, and inspiration

Fosters spiritual friendships and builds trusted circles within your parish community

  • each chapter includes suggested group discussion questions
  • group discussion format allows flexibility in group size, age ranges, and depth of conversation
  • separate facilitator guide provides added guidance and ideas for program leaders and facilitators

Flexible program complements existing adult faith formation programs

  • journals can be used in individual and group settings
  • flexible chapters allow for weekly sessions or retreat format; most common format is a 9-week session (informal gathering then 8 weekly meetings to discuss journal topics)
  • chapters can easily be combined or moved around to fit liturgical or retreat themes or varying schedules
  • journals can be used in any order; series is nonsequential
