Walking with Purpose is a Catholic women’s Bible study that aims to bring women to a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ by offering personal study and small group discussion that link our everyday challenges and struggles with the solutions given to us through the teachings of Christ and the Roman Catholic Church. If you are a woman, 18 or older, you may participate in a WWP bible study. You do not have to be Catholic to join a study.
For women who have participated in a Walking With Purpose study in the past, St. Hugh of Grenoble will offer the 16-week course, Fearless and Free, on the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians. Groups will meet Monday mornings from 11:00am-12:00pm in the school library beginning November 1st (See Schedule).
Do you crave an authentic community, the kind in which you experience God’s joy and goodness? Are you lonely and desire lasting friendships? Our new six- week study, Reclaiming Friendship, is ideal for you. Groups will meet on Monday evenings via Zoom from 6:30pm to 7:30pm beginning November 8th.
You may register for either of these studies on our parish website by clicking HERE, or by contacting Mary Wade at jumpingmouse04@gmail.com.
There is no registration fee. To order the book, go to the Walking With Purpose website.
Do you ever wish you could "get more" out of Mass? Maybe it's time for you to take "A Biblical Walk Through the Mass" and grow in your understanding of what we say and do in the liturgy. The School of Religion will be offering a five session study program and the introduction is planned for Sunday, October 2nd from 11am-12noon in the school library. Come join our religious ed families and discover the many beautiful spiritual treasures embedded in the Mass.

The pursuit of a relationship with Jesus is a life-long work of grace and perseverance. Here at St. Hugh's, adults are encouraged to seek the companionship of parish friends who follow Christ through the life of his universal Church, and often pursue these timeless practices:
Frequent reception of the sacraments
Adoration
Daily readings
The rosary
Continuing education
Spiritual reading
Christianity is not simply a book of culture or an ideology, or a system of values and principles, however lofty. Christianity is a person, a presence, a face: Jesus, who gives meaning and fullness to human life…”
- Blessed John Paul II, Speech to Young People of Switzerland, June 5, 2004
I am the handmaid of the Lord.
Let it be done to me, according to your word.
