A resident of Galena, Ohio, with an extensive volunteer background, Michele Niklaus organizes baby showers for pregnant women in her volunteer role with Mommies Matter. Michele Niklaus previously served as operational coordinator for Walking with Purpose (WWP) Catholic Women's Bible Study, an 18-week program that attracted more than 300 participants each year.
Walking with Purpose aims to meet each woman where she is, whether she has been studying the Bible for years or has never read a page. Opening Your Heart is the organization’s 22-week foundational course, perfect for women who are seeking meaning, purpose, and connection through the Bible.
Opening Your Heart focuses on key topics such as cultivating a friendship with Jesus Christ, learning how to pray, and understanding the role of suffering in life. Exploring some of the fundamental questions of the Catholic faith, the course helps women identify key priorities and unlock their purpose and passion. Along with Bible study content, Opening Your Heart includes a series of Connect Coffee Talks that provide the opportunity for continued discussion.
