Fidelis
Who we are:
Fidelis is a parish sponsored program inviting girls in grades 6-12 into sisterhood with women, young and old, leading each other to Christ. With our ‘yes’ to God we use intentional, virtuous and feminine means to form girls into women who can proclaim with confidence to God, “Paratum cor meum Deus, my heart is ready , O God, my heart is ready.”
What we do:
With the intent on capturing the heart of a young woman, Fidelis uses movie clips, activities, and games to teach virtue, all in the context of mentorship and sisterhood. Fidelis draws girls into the heart of the Church by connecting discussions on virtue to the Sunday Mass readings. These lessons come to life during weekly meetings, seasonal outings, and an annual Inspire trip where chapters from around the country gather.
Why we do it:
Fidelis invites women into a virtuous life through personal prayer, participation in the Sacraments, and meaningful involvement with their parish. As women grow in holiness, the Holy Spirit compels them to pass this on to the next generation. Fidelis forms young women not only by teaching about virtue but also by presenting living models of discipleship.
