A Faith Enrichment Program through
WINGS of St. Paul Parish, Wellesley

What is WINGS?
WINGS is a faith enrichment group for women of all ages who seek to grow in their relationship with God and deepen their faith. WINGS encourages its members to learn and grow in their Catholic faith and be aware of their own unique spiritual gifts so as to benefit the wider Christian community and build up the Kingdom of God here on Earth. WINGS is a ministry sponsored by the Office of Life and Family Ministries of the Archdiocese of Boston. For more information about WINGS generally, go to http://www.familylifeboston.com/html/womensministrieswings.html

When does WINGS meet?
WINGS generally meets three different seasons.

· The Fall Season explores Catholic tradition and teaching.
· The Winter Season involves study and sharing on Scripture.
· The Spring Season, also known as the "faith focus" season, enables women to discern ways of putting into practice their faith in their personal life, family life, community, and the world.

Each season program generally consists of a once-per-week meeting (St. Paul’s will meet Monday night) for four weeks.

The meetings will begin
7:00 - 7:30 p.m. Arrival and Welcome
7:30 – 9:00 p.m. Opening Prayer, Presentation, Group Discussions and Closing Prayer

Can I attend the meetings if I am not a member of St. Paul Parish?
WINGS of St. Paul Parish welcomes all women from St. Paul’s and all neighboring parishes.
Is transportation to and from the meeting or childcare provided?
If you need transportation to and from Program meetings, please indicate that on your Registration Form. Unfortunately, child care will not be available.

How much does it cost to join WINGS?
A registration fee is suggested for each 4-week Program. The fee is used to pay for speakers’ fees, meeting refreshments and overhead costs, and is typically less than $40. St. Paul Parish has generously underwritten the cost of the spring 2008 Program.
