Andrea Ault on Cycle Prep for mothers and daughters
The Diocese of Sioux City is offering four Cycle Prep sessions for mothers and their young daughters starting Oct. 22. Andrea Ault, Bishop Garrigan High School alumna, will serve as facilitator for the Cycle Prep sessions. She shares how she learned about the Cycle Prep program and how it aligns with church teaching about the human body and God's design for our bodies.
For more information about the sessions held in Le Mars, Fort Dodge, Algona and Carroll, or to register for an upcoming session click here.
