Femina Integritatis (Woman of Integrity) encourages Catholic Patriots to internalize and immerse themselves in what it means to be a Catholic Woman of Integrity. Prayer and discussion are essential elements of this study with opportunities for outings and engaging speakers. Through study of the Holy Sacrifi ce of the Mass, Our Blessed Mother, the lives of the saints, and the sacraments, Patriots discern God’s call for their lives after high school.

The adult guide can be found in the Woman of Integrity workbook (pages 4-5). Adult mentors must be GHACCYO trained.

There are 4 segments, each with 4 chapters to be completed:
