About the Course

Join us for a three-week online journey with Kiah Fisher into the life and spirituality of St. Catherine of Siena—14th-century mystic, Dominican tertiary, spiritual teacher, and courageous advocate for renewal in the Church. Grounded in an intimate relationship with God, Catherine spoke with remarkable insight about human dignity, Christ's love, and our call to serve the world with truth and compassion.

Each week explores a central theme in Catherine's life and writings:

  • November 5 — The Cell of Self-Knowledge: Catherine's Formation and Life with God
  • November 12 — The Bridge Between God and Humanity: Catherine's Vision of Christ and Human Dignity
  • November 19 — The Fire of Divine Love: Catherine's Bold Voice for the Church and the World

Through studying Catherine's life, participants will discover a spirituality that unites contemplation with courageous action. Her wisdom invites us to grow in self-knowledge, deepen our relationship with God, recognize the sacred dignity of every person, and find the confidence to respond faithfully to the needs of the Church and the world. Whether you are encountering Catherine for the first time or returning to her writings with fresh questions, this course offers an inspiring opportunity to explore how a life set ablaze by divine love can bring clarity, purpose, and hope to our own.
