While the girls gather each week for Radiant, adults are invited to journey alongside them from home. Each Monday, a short video will be released introducing the week's Scripture and theme, followed by social media posts throughout the week with reflection questions and simple challenges to help you put God's Word into practice. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, mentor, or simply looking to grow in your own faith, these resources are a great way to deepen your relationship with Christ and encourage meaningful conversations across generations. We hope you'll join us as together we discover the beauty of God's plan and become more radiant in His love.

The girls were challenged for this next week to thank God each day for one thing He created including themselves. We would like to invite you to participate in this challenge as well.

Psalm 139: 14 -- "I will give thanks to You, because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well."

Coming this fall! Starting mid-September. Open to all, whatever parish you belong to, whether Catholic or not, whether Christian or not. This past spring we had around 45 people participate! Here's how one participant described their experience:

"My time spent in HWP has been nothing short of a gift and the fact it will be offered again in the fall is a true blessing to our parish...No matter what you have experienced in life, you will be encouraged to come as you are and be healed where you are. Every session was beautifully done and set a fire in my heart. I appreciated the format and time for reflection and individual prayer. I truly felt the Holy Spirit guiding my pen and realizations every week. I cannot recommend this experience enough and you are sure to walk away knowing you are truly loved by God."

The same session is offered twice a week and participants can attend either one.

Each one of these bags represents a 5th or 6th grader participating in the Radiant scripture and skincare study that starts tonight. Please keep them in your prayers over the next nine weeks. Thank you!

Who told you who you are?

Before the world had an opinion...
Before social media...
Before grades, careers, or accomplishments...

God already knew you.

The very first chapter of the Bible tells us that every person is created in the image and likeness of God. Your worth has never depended on your appearance, your success, or what others think of you.

You are loved because you belong to Him.

This week, look in the mirror and thank God for one thing He created in you.

As we enter into a new month, we say goodbye to our "Summer with the Saints" series and step into a new series called, "Radiant". While the girls gather each week for Radiant, adults are invited to journey alongside them from home. Each Monday, a short video will be released introducing the week's Scripture and theme, followed by social media posts throughout the week with reflection questions and simple challenges to help you put God's Word into practice. Whether you're a parent, grandparent, mentor, or simply looking to grow in your own faith, these resources are a great way to deepen your relationship with Christ and encourage meaningful conversations across generations. We hope you'll join us as together we discover the beauty of God's plan and become more radiant in His love.
