Before beginning the Women of Grace Foundational Study, I was grateful for the many blessings in my life. I had a devoted husband, a loving marriage of more than thirty five years, and three children who practiced their faith and tried to live as kind, committed Catholics. Still, beneath the surface, I carried worries I could not control. I often spent my time on things that left me feeling empty, and in a difficult season I failed to witness my Catholic faith as I knew I should. Yet in God’s mercy, even through my weaknesses, He gently led me to the Women of Grace Foundational Study.

I am concerned that he gave up his priestly vocation to marry, and that this might be an indication of something unseemly in their deliverance ministry.”
