Just Keep Growing

Grow in virtue, rooted in God’s Word.

Life brings both trials and triumphs—but in every season, we’re called to grow. Just Keep Growing is a program designed to help women cultivate 31 virtues that strengthen the soul and shape everyday life. We offer this program in person in the Fairfield County, CT area as well as online, typically during the seasons of Advent and Lent, in preparation for Christmas and Easter.

Inspired by St. Ignatius and the practice of Lectio Divina, we examine the practice of these particular virtues in our own lives as we ask God to speak to us through Bible passages that correspond with each virtue.

Each day, you’ll explore a different virtue—anchored in God’s Word—to help you respond with grace, courage, and faith. Whether you're navigating challenges or simply seeking to live more intentionally, this journey draws you closer to the heart of God and helps you bear fruit that blesses others.

With daily practice, these virtues begin to shape your thoughts, actions, and relationships—until living with grace becomes second nature.

Order our Just Keep GrowingAt-Home Retreat journal and begin your retreat at home—on your own or with a group of friends or fellow church members.

This journal is designed to help women prayerfully reflect on 31 virtues, using God’s Word as a daily guide. No need to wait for our next group session—you can begin today, on a schedule that fits your life.

Through this journey, you’ll be invited to:

  • Grow in awareness of where you are flourishing—and where you’re being called to grow—in virtue

  • Personally encounter God through journaling and deeper reflection on Scripture

  • Welcome His healing presence into your heart and life

  • Reflect the heart of Jesus to others through the daily practice of virtue

  • Draw encouragement and inspiration from other women (and be an encouragement and inspiration to other women) through times of group reflection, for those who choose to gather a group of women to join their retreat

Let this be your invitation to grow in the likeness of Christ, one day and one virtue at a time.
