St. Paul’s hosts Lisa Cotter for Women’s Night

Each semester, St. Paul’s hosts a Men’s and Women’s Night for students to gather in fellowship over a meal and receive formation through a talk from a Catholic speaker. Additionally, the men serve as volunteer support for the Women’s Night and the women for the Men’s Night.

On October 27, Catholic speaker Lisa Cotter joined us for Hoosier Catholic’s Women’s Night. Lisa is also author of the best-selling book Dating Detox and the recently published Reveal the Gift: Living the Feminine Genius.

In Lisa’s talk, she discussed the feminine genius and what true femininity is. She shared that women are especially gifted with sensitivity. This sensitivity isn’t being too emotional but rather, as Pope St. John Paul II writes, a “feminine sensitivity towards other human beings.”

Over 100 women attended the dinner and talk that night. For weeks after the Women’s Night, numerous students have mentioned how much the night impacted them. The world often tells us that femininity is bad and an obstacle, but many women that night learned that their femininity is a gift from the Lord.
