Paradisus Dei welcomed 50 women into the office last week for a pre-screening of She Shall Be Called Woman.  These women were the first EVER to experience SHE and we could not be more excited for parish groups to launch so soon!  Women attended from all across the Galveston-Houston Diocese.  We even had women from Florida, Ohio, and Spain who happened to be in the area and jumped on the unique opportunity to join us.

The evening began with opening remarks from Mark and Katie Hartfiel. Katie is the Content Coordinator of She Shall Be Called Woman and she shared the inspiration and purpose behind our new women’s program.  The women were able to view the first session, followed by a Q&A about the program and how to bring it to their parishes.

The event was a great success and we enjoyed chatting with women about the session afterward with wine and charcuterie. When participants were asked about their thoughts, they shared their excitement:

“I think that especially as a young adult woman who is single, it is so important to learn more about what it means to be a woman.  What it means to be a mother, a sister and a daughter, which is so much more than society has shown us.  I think it is so great to have a program like this which gives women a tangible way to strengthen our faith together and discover the true gift it is to be a woman.  This is needed for women of all ages!”  – Caroline Burciaga, Houston, TX

“I’m really excited about the diversity of the program and that it appeals to women in any stage of life.  They can all participate and really grow in their spiritual lives together.  All of the material that Paradisus Dei has provided us so far has been a great help and has made us confident that we can pull this together and run a successful group!” – Donna Rodriguez, Victoria, TX
