Discovering the Nature and Dignity of Women

Magnifica’s mission is to educate women toward a more profound understanding of their God-given dignity through study in small group communities of faith and friendship. Rooted in the teachings of Pope St. John Paul II, Magnifica affirms the genius of women – the feminine genius that empowers them to fulfill our culture’s desperate need for an authentic feminine presence in every aspect of life and society.

Magnifica attracts women of all ages, races, nationalities, and vocations and brings them together to read and discuss papal and magisterial documents as well as the lives and writings of the saints. Magnifica group members encounter the Catholic intellectual tradition together, sometimes for the very first time, and learn how to recognize, cultivate, and live the fullness of their feminine genius in their families, workplaces, and communities.
