This study explores the dignity of every human person as created in the image and likeness of God.  It introduces young women to the concepts of authentic love, true freedom, and the mystery of beauty. This study presents Pope Saint John Paul II’s concept of the new feminism based on the complementarity of the sexes as well as his writings on the feminine genius. In addition, it introduces several remarkable female figures including Saint Edith Stein, Saint Teresa of Calcutta, Saint Josephine Bakhita and Mother Dolores Hart, among others. Created for Love will lead young women on a journey of encountering their identity as daughters of God, enabling them to grow in faith and virtue.

Navigating the study
This four-part series was created for young women in high school.

  • Created for Love
  • Created for Community
  • Created for Holiness
  • Created for Mission

Through reading aloud, group discussion, and dynamic activities, young women are introduced to their identity as daughters of God and their role in the Church and society through the intellectual tradition of our Catholic faith. Through these studies, they will grow in knowledge and understanding of the faith, leading to the development of virtue and a more active interior life. Ultimately, the goal of the Endow High School Study Series is to draw young women into a deeper, more profound relationship with Jesus Christ, the author of our dignity as women.
