St. Joan of Arc is remembered as a young and fearless leader who inspired others to goodness and courage.

She inspired the transformation of heart and the pursuit of courage and holiness among the most hardened of military leaders, soldiers, and observers. Despite her youth, lack of military training, and the fact that she was a female, she commanded respect and impressed others with her purity and goodness.

Be inspired and be fearless! God has called you to a special mission to serve our Church!

St. Joan of Arc, pray for us.

What are the 4 fundamental cornerstones of the foundation?

In her 2020 Discover the Gift Keynote, Mother Gloria Therese, OCD, wisely offers us how to realize the gifts we’ve been given.

She reminds us that God meticulously gives us a foundation upon which to receive and build the gifts that He’s given to us.

It begins with the Father who wants to show us who we are…

This is just a sneak peek of the abundant wisdom and formation to be poured out at our June 2026 Leadership Forum.

So many amazing speakers from all backgrounds will be joining us, and we can’t wait for you to meet them in person! 💕

In the meantime…

The gift of complementarity…

Between man and woman reveals the interwoven truth and gifts about our identity and mission.

We need one another.

Share this with someone who has reminded you of the gift of your feminine genius💗

Come, Holy Spirit! 🕊️

We celebrate the beautiful solemnity of Pentecost, and we have a special opportunity to reflect and open our hearts and know that God is TRULY with us.

He is within you.

Today, take some time to pray to the Holy Spirit and ask for His guidance to follow His way, hear your call, and respond with your gifts.

//

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Amen.

I surrender…

I am a prophet of a future that is not my own.

My work and mission are Yours.

Lord, enter and do the rest.

Save this for when you need a reminder that God is in control and will take care of each step, concern, desire, and outcome.

Blow upon my garden

Let its fragrance be wafted abroad. (Song of Solomon 4:16)

//

What aspects of spring and summer draw your heart to God?

The flowers of spring have taught us to bask in God’s generous grace and guiding word.

Share in the comments what draws your heart to Him and what you have reflected or tag us in your post/story so we can see!

We look forward to enjoying the beautiful season of spring and summer with you 💗

Your heart ascends with Him

When you feel weary to the bone, Jesus offers you His own Flesh and Blood to refresh your soul.

Even when we are tired and distracted, even when we don’t ~feel~ any different, His grace in this holy sacrament remains LIVING and EFFECTIVE.

This is the mystery of our faith: what appears to be bread and wine is truly our Lord Jesus Christ, body, blood, soul and divinity.

If your heart feels weary and in need of spiritual nourishment: find one way you can spend more time with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.

You can start small:

Can you find five minutes while running errands or commuting to stop by the chapel and sit in silence before the tabernacle?

Can you make it to one more daily Mass outside of the normal Sunday obligation?
