Purpose of the Leadership Institute:
The purpose of the Women of Grace Leadership Institute is to give Catholic women of all walks of life and ages the tools to help put their authentic femininity into action as a true daughter of God. (Please note it is helpful if you’ve gone through the Full of Grace Foundational study series but it is not necessary to have done so before going through the Institute.)
What will a person learn by attending the Institute?
You will learn how to communicate your Catholic faith that informs, persuades and convinces others about our essential crusade for the culture of life. The session will conclude and involve all the participants in table-top exercises. It will be enjoyable and a valuable learning experience. The participants will work on a specific challenge as teams and learn from each other as well about how to bring about the changes we want to see, whether it be in our families, our neighborhood or our society.
