Mary responded to God’s call with faith and love. Do you sometimes find it hard to do the same in your life? Women of all ages are invited to FIAT where together we can learn how to joyfully, generously and courageously say “yes” to God’s call to each of us in our vocation as Catholic women.
All women are invited for prayer and a talk presented by a Kenrick-Glennon Seminary faculty member on the third Thursday of each month at the Seminary. Sign up here to receive reminders about this monthly event.

June Twilight Fiat**
On the third Thursday morning of each month, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary hosts the Fiat Women’s Group, which is open to all women for prayer, a spiritual reflection, and community. On June 20th, the Seminary is excited to share that we will offer 2 sessions, one at 8:15am (rosary at 8am) in the Chapel of St. Joseph and a special “Twilight Fiat” at 7p.m. in our newly beautified courtyard! Fr. Jason Schumer will be giving the same talk at each session.
We hope that this additional evening session will be a great opportunity for women who typically have work, caregiving, or other morning obligations on Thursdays. As with the morning talk, refreshments will be provided at this later one. If you are coming to the evening session, please bring a lawn chair with you, as seating is limited. Questions? Please email fiat@kenrick.edu.
Morning of Recollection
On Saturday, September 7th, 2024, Kenrick-Glennon Seminary will be offering a joint Morning of Recollection for Forming Men for Christ and the Fiat Women’s Group from 8:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
Sr. Karolyn Nunes from the Franciscan Sisters of the Martyr St George will be speaking to the women and Fr. Paul Hoesing, President-Rector of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, will give talks for the men. The day will include Adoration, opportunities of Confession, Mass, and an optional lunch.
The registration will open soon (and will be posted on this webpage), but we hope you will save the date for this wonderful opportunity to have a retreat-like experience for a few hours!
