“…women has a genius all her own, which is vitally essential to both society and the Church”
Pope St. John Paul II- Angelus; July 23 1995
In 1995, Pope St. John Paul II wrote a Letter to Women, which emphasized the important role women play in society and the Church. The Pope spoke of the distinct attributes of women—receptivity, sensitivity, generosity, and maternity—all of which make up the feminine genius.
This brunch takes its name from those amazing God-given attributes endowed to you as women! Why? Because it is our hope that the talks and experience of this brunch will reveal to you your amazing gifts as women and open your heart to the Holy Spirit who longs to spark these gifts to life!

Jesus and Women in Scripture
We encourage you to pray with passages of Scripture where Jesus interacts with women. In these passages, we experience the reverence and love proper to our dignity.
