Fiat: Women’s Discernment Nights

Fiat is a series of nights for women ages 18-35 discerning consecrated life, including religious life and consecrated virginity. Following Mary’s Fiat (her “yes” to God), come learn more about the vocation of consecrated life and see how God may be calling you.

Held at St. Patrick’s Basilica, evenings run from 7-9 pm and include a talk, small and large group discussion, prayer, and time for fellowship. Topics explore various forms of consecrated life and the process of discernment.

These events are facilitated by members of the Servants of the Cross, the Queenship of Mary Community, and Erin Kinsella, a Consecrated Virgin within our Archdiocese. At Fiat, you’ll have a chance to connect with women living the consecrated life and others still discerning.
