"The Benedicta spring week-long immersive was one of the most intense and wonderful weeks academically and spiritually that I have ever experienced. Graces abounded with new and renewed knowledge and intimacy with Our Lady and the Trinity. Bishop Waltersheid and Dr. Wallenfang were so Marian and such gifted and inspiring speakers!
I have been sharing and reflecting on all of it every day. I am confident that I will be able to share and use all the knowledge I received at many moments in my life as people and circumstances present. The growth I gained was such a gift!" -Mary I
The Benedicta Institute for Women is an outreach of Women of Grace® which seeks to train and equip Catholic women to be active leaders and mentors of the day in accord with their state in life. Learn more about our upcoming summer course and fall immersive here!
The purpose of Certification in Catholic Women’s Leadership through the Benedicta Institute for Women® is found in the Institute’s motto, agere sequitur esse (doing follows being). The woman who receives the Certification in Catholic Women’s Leadership will be formed and shaped according to the heart and mind of Holy Mother Church in the fullness of the Feminine Genius, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Through the spiritual and leadership formation provided, she will be imbued with the Marian character, confidence, and skill to bring Jesus Christ to the world and the world to Jesus Christ, no matter her position or state in life. In so doing, she will do much to “aid humanity in not falling” and to create a civilization of love.
