Welcome to WCF 2008-2009!
Recap by Sue Kelly-Cochrane

Meeting for the first time this school year on September 11, hopeful women were greeted with this Holy-Spirit-inspired prayer by our Teaching Leader Angie Lake:

 “… This New Year Lord, increase our capacity to love you, increase our capacity to know you, increase our capacity to desire to serve you with all joy. Father God, let each one of us be a light and a living river of water flowing through the church, the land and wherever there is a need in the hearts of your people….”

To be used by God for His purposes, to be a light and a living river of water flowing through our land is a simple desire in women’s hearts and a reason many new women come to WCF and return year after year.

Father Mike Barry, our Spiritual Director, encouraged us by saying how thankful and grateful to God he is for WCF. Wow, our ears were tickled by a priest thanking God for us! He continued, that he was thankful for what WCF was doing in the parish, the church and especially among women. Father energized us to embrace the charism of WCF which was given by God to the church.

His teaching on what a charism of the church is truly helped us to understand why we are drawn to WCF. Specifically he taught us:

“A charism belongs to the very nature of the church; they have always been there and will always be there. The word charism comes from the Greek word meaning ‘gift’ and is used in the New Testament 17 times; 16 times by St. Paul and once by St. Peter.” This is so fitting
