Welcome to the Endow program!
An hour of study, for the modern apostle, is an hour of prayer.
Saint Josemaría Escrivá, The Way
We are so excited for you to begin your spiritual and intellectual journey with the Endow family! The intellectual life is the happy life and this life requires an education. Many women ask us where to start or which study to do next after beginning with our most popular and foundational study on John Paul II’s Letter to Women. Here are some suggested pathways from the Endow Team but we really encourage you to consult your desires, the women in your group, and of course the Holy Spirit. The Catholic intellectual tradition is so rich—it’s hard to choose!
To learn more about Endow, please listen to The Endow Podcast Starter Kit, join us for our next Sample Chapter 1 event, or book a mentoring Zoom meeting with Simone Rizkallah, Director of Program Growth.
