Women’s Ministry
Encounter Christ. Build Community. Live Your Faith.
Saint Clement’s Women’s Ministry creates opportunities for women of all ages and stages of life to encounter Christ, build authentic relationships, and grow in confidence as they live their faith each day. Through gatherings, conversations, and programs offered throughout the year, women are invited to deepen their relationship with God, find encouragement and belonging, and discover how faith can shape every part of their lives.
Fall 2026 Series
Living Faithfully in a Complicated World
How do we remain rooted in Christ when our values do not match our environment, relationships feel difficult, and the world around us is changing rapidly?
This three-part series will bring faith into conversation with the real situations women navigate each day. Through personal stories, practical wisdom, and honest conversation, we’ll explore how to live with courage, authenticity, and confidence in a complicated world.
Wednesdays, September 23 and 30, and October 7, 2026
7:00–8:30 p.m.
The October 7 gathering will be held jointly with the Men’s Executive Series.
Week 1 | September 23
What Do I Do When My Values Don’t Match My Environment?
Being a Catholic woman today means living our faith in a variety of spaces, from workplaces and neighborhoods to friendships, social groups, and family gatherings. But what happens when the culture around us pulls us in a different direction?
This evening will explore how to live faithfully and authentically when our beliefs, priorities, and choices don’t always align with the world around us. Through honest conversation with some lead storytellers and lived experience, we’ll consider how to navigate these tensions with wisdom, courage, and a deep trust in God’s presence in our everyday lives.
Week 2 | September 30
Why Are Relationships So Hard—Even When I’m Trying to Live My Faith?
Friendships, dating, marriage, family dynamics, boundaries, loneliness—our relationships are often where our faith is tested most. Many women desire strong, healthy relationships but find themselves navigating disappointment, conflict, changing life stages, and competing expectations. Together, we'll explore what it means to build relationships rooted in faith, authenticity, and love while remaining true to who God created us to be. Through personal stories and practical wisdom, we'll discuss how our relationship with Christ can transform the way we connect with others.
Week 3 | October 7
Markets, AI, and Faith: Finding Your Voice in a Shifting World
Markets are shifting, artificial intelligence is reshaping how we live and work, and rapid change can make it difficult to know where—or how—to speak with confidence. Join us for a special evening with Jody Jonsson exploring the intersection of markets, AI, and faith in a changing world.
This final gathering will be offered jointly with the Men’s Executive Series.
