Feminine Genius Brunch

The Diocese of Bridgeport Respect Life Ministry invites you to a Feminine Genius Brunch! Discover God's plan for you to flourish, featuring speaker Sr. Maria Teresa, CFR

What is "feminine genius"?
St. Pope John Paul II wrote a beautiful, pastoral letter known as the “Letter to Women” in which he recognized the challenges women faced in the world concerning their dignity and worth.

About our Speaker
Sr. Maria Teresa, CFR will be giving an inspiring talk based on the unique gifts God endowed women with, what St. Pope John Paul II referred to as the feminine genius, and how He calls each of us to live in the world through these gifts. Come join us for this morning set aside to hear about God’s distinct plan for each of us!
