In November 2024, St. Vincent Parish in Wildwood, Florida hosted an Advent retreat with Jonnette Benkovic Williams as their speaker. Many volunteers and staff members worked together to make this retreat a success. A special thank you goes out to Pastor Fr. Kenny, new parish Director of Faith Formation Maria Luz, and Nancy Elhajj (Regional Coordinator with Women of Grace).
"By the grace of God, we completed our fourth year of offering Women of Grace Foundational Study in Indiana. This year was marked by many blessings, as well as many challenges for the participants and facilitators.
Ruth shares her experience of growing in faith and her relationship with God through the Women of Grace® Foundation Study, "Full of Grace: Women and the Abundant Life".

"I was so excited when I heard that the Benedicta Institute was coming back. I signed up and then ordered my books. As I began to read in preparation for the Institute, I started to question my decision. Phenomenology and Metaphysics!!! I had no idea but I went anyway.
Dr. Donald Wallenfang, the professor, was amazing. By the end of the first session, I was fine. He is an amazing teacher. Bishop William Waltersheid from Pittsburgh was with us the entire week. What a blessing he is to the Church and to us.
The week was filled with sisterhood, laughter and prayer. If you want to know if I would go again, the answer is YES!!"
