Mission of ENDOW

"To educate women towards a deeper, more profound understanding of their God-given dignity and vocation as women."

 

ENDOW…

  • brings women together to discover their God-given dignity and to understand their role in humanizing and transforming society. 
  • utilizes small study groups, conferences and retreats to cultivate faith, fellowship and formation
  • provides women with a forum through which to explore and understand what it means to be a feminine person created in God's image.
  • promotes the New Feminism, which is defined by Pope John Paul II.  The New Feminism recognizes and affirms the "true genius of women" and responds to our culture's desperate need for an authentic feminine presence in every aspect of life and society.
  • educates and inspires women through small study groups and engages the intellect of the "woman in the pew."  By providing knowledge and fellowship in an intimate group setting, ENDOW also fosters a sense of belonging and gives women an opportunity to deeply understand and personalize the faith that draws us together and the fellowship that keeps us together.

 

ENDOW study groups

  • Meet weekly or bi-weekly over the course of 8-10 weeks.
  • No homework is required.   
  • Groups can meet in the parish or in the home. 

 

Parish Presentations

ENDOW representatives can provide a one and a half hour presentation explaing the mission/concept of ENDOW using arious tools such as PowerPoint, visual media, and print material on the various ENDOW study groups. Contact us to set up an appointment for your parish or church organization.

ENDOW has been a blessing in my life.  I have facilitated four study groups and each has enlightened and inspired me.  Studying about the dignity and vocation of women and the “new feminism” so beautifully presented by John Paul II has been so edifying and it has given me a desire to learn more!
