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. St. Hugh of Grenoble will offer the 22-week Walking with Purpose course, Discovering Our Dignity, beginning October 5, 2020. Sessions will be Monday mornings from 9:30-10:30am and evenings from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. You may choose the session you want to attend and whether you want to participate in-person or virtually.

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.
