Clear Water Academy Endow Group
A message from our Endow Group Facilitator
Dear Women,
As a Catholic woman and mother, I warmly invite you to join our ENDOW Group, where women can grow in faith, friendship, and a deeper understanding of their own feminine gifts.
Rooted in the wisdom of Pope St. John Paul II, this study offers an opportunity to reflect on the many roles we embrace—as wives, mothers, daughters, professionals, and friends—while encouraging one another on our journey toward holiness.
I also invite you to discover the community of Clear Water Academy, where families are formed in Christ and children are encouraged to grow as Christian leaders.
In Christ,
Rebecca Gafuik
Endow Study Lead
Clear Water Academy is pleased to introduce a new initiative that extends beyond our current school community to welcome women with children from newborn to school age who seek to deepen their Catholic faith, build meaningful friendships, and support one another in the vocation of motherhood while discovering the mission and community of Clear Water Academy.
This program is based on Educating on the Nature and Dignity of Women (ENDOW) and the Letter to Women study inspired by the writings of Pope St. John Paul II. Originally written for the 1995 Fourth United Nations Conference on Women, the Letter to Women offers profound reflections on human dignity, the vocation of women, and the timeless truths revealed through Christ’s love. Through this study, participants are invited to rediscover the beauty of their unique vocation and the richness of the feminine genius.
Who Can Join the Group?
Through this group, we hope to accompany and inspire mothers of children from newborn to school age who desire a faith-filled environment for their families and are considering Clear Water Academy for their children's education. We look forward to sharing our mission of academic excellence and authentic Catholic Integral Formation, grounded in the intellectual, human, spiritual, and apostolic dimensions.
Whether you are a full-time or part-time working mother, on maternity leave, or a stay-at-home mom, this program is designed to support you in your vocation and journey of faith.
What Will Be Offered?
Over six weeks, on Fridays, our ENDOW small group will gather for a women’s study of the writings of Pope St. John Paul II in a welcoming, discussion-based format.
Our facilitator will guide each session and help create a supportive environment where women can grow in friendship and faith alongside others on their spiritual journey. Participants will read and reflect on selected materials together; no homework is required.
Topics to be explored include:
- Finding Your Self-Worth in God
- Seeing Yourself as God Sees You
- Women in the Workforce
- Authentic Feminism: John Paul II’s “New Feminism”
- Unity of Man and Woman
- Mary’s Freedom
- Vocations
- Bearing Fruit
