Pilgrimage to Mexico City - December 8th - 13th, 2023

Our Pilgrimage with Johnnette Benkovic Williams to Mexico City for the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, was a phenomenal experience of the culture, history, and faith of the people. It is a celebration bigger than Christmas.

Although it was a gruelling pace for the 139 participating women and EWTN production crew (all from the US with the exception of the eight of us from NS and PE), we joyfully embraced and loved every moment of our time there.

We remembered you in our prayers, and thank-you for your prayers for us.

This Youtube video captures some of the highlights of the Pilgrimage.

The Women of Grace® Foundational Study : Women and the Abundant Life, by Johnnette Benkovic Williams

Grace Ministries for Women completed on March 8th, 2023 the 9-week Women of Grace® Foundational Study, Full of Grace: Women and the Abundant Life, by Johnnette Benkovic Williams. It is a powerful, small-group study designed to support the spiritual formation of Catholic women. Through this journey of discovery and transformation, women grow in knowledge and practice of their faith and come to understand and affirm their dignity and vocation as daughters of God and their gift of authentic femininity. The series takes a multi-media approach to dig deeply into Catholic teaching using trusted sources and integrates real-world examples with Sacred Scripture, the Catechism, key Church documents and biographies of women saints. 

"If you're unmotivated to join the Women of Grace foundation program, sign-up anyways. I was reluctant to enroll. I challenged myself to prove that devoting time to the program would be fruitful and not a waste of time. I'm glad I surrendered my ego and followed God's guidance to participate today, not later, nor never. I was unaware an all-women's Catholic group was what I needed. The women in the group and the material has strengthened my discipleship. I now have a greater devotion to God, Jesus, and Mother Mary because now I know."
