The series consists of ten Zoom sessions, 60 minutes each, with 30 minutes of bonus Q&A. If you miss a session, it will be recorded for you to access as your schedule allows.

Each session will be facilitated by Jenna Mayo, a professional coach and a member of the Catholic Speakers Organization. Jenna will introduce content ideas and prompting throughout the session, engaging participants throughout the program.

Mothers of school-aged children who are interested in creating or growing Catholic faith-filled experiences for themselves, their children, and their families. Mothers of older or younger children, or women who are expecting to become mothers, are also invited to participate. Participants do not need to be Catholic, but should be aware that the content of this program is based on the tenets of the Catholic faith. 

1. Provide moms with ideas, tools, and resources for creating or growing Catholic faith-filled experiences for their children and families.
2. Educate on practical ways of developing a Catholic identity within the family.
3. Empower moms to grow in self-confidence so they can more frequently incorporate Catholic values, virtues, beliefs, and experiences into their everyday lives with their children.
4. Create a community of moms with school-aged children who are engaged with The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church.

All ten sessions will be held via Zoom at 7 pm CT on the first Monday of each month, beginning Feb. 5, 2024.

It's unrealistic to think we are all going to make every single session in this series. Please do not fret! We want every mom to join us for as many or as few sessions as she can. Sessions will be recorded and will be available for you to enjoy when it's convenient for you!

The National Shrine of Mary, Mother of the Church recognizes the deep need for programs like this which empower and engage mothers in their faith. For this reason, we are offering this series at a discounted rate to enable more mothers to participate.

$50 for all 10 sessions (live and recorded)
