Kingdom Highlights Q3 2026 is the quarterly newsletter of Kingdom Builders, a Catholic women's ministry focused on building Christ-centered community through parish gatherings, small groups, and events. This issue is written for women who participate in or are curious about the ministry's activities, including its Core Teams and Mosaic small groups.
The first feature, 'Breaking Bread and Building Bouquets,' describes the ministry's July Garden Party, where women gathered for a potluck dinner and bouquet-making. It explains how the event grew from a simple plan into a grace-filled evening with prayer, food, and flower arranging, reflecting the ministry's mission to build friendships through shared faith.
The 'Miracle Moments' section collects testimonies from attendees. One woman shares how a Gathering helped her prioritize her relationship with Jesus after retirement. Another reflects on a new understanding of Reconciliation as an encounter with God. A younger attendee asked about starting a Mosaic group after experiencing Adoration.
A staff profile introduces Cat Windmiller, Marketing Manager since January 2025. She shares her favorite saint (St. Dominic), hobbies including board games and Girl Scouts, and her excitement about the 2026 conference theme 'ENFLAME,' inspired by St. Margaret Mary Alacoque. She also notes her journey from Atlanta to Fort Wayne through Eucharistic Adoration.
The Founder's Message by Mary Jo Parrish reflects on the phrase 'Love always wants to make itself radically available' from Fr. Jonathan Meyer's book. She shares her personal struggle to attend daily Mass and challenges readers to consider how God is inviting them to make themselves radically available to receive His love.
The issue promotes the National Catholic Women's Conference on October 3, 2026, at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Speakers include Sonja Corbitt, Rachel Bulman, and Mary Jo Parrish. A statistics box reports 17 KB Host Parishes, 8 in formation, 40 Mosaic Small Groups, and 6 dioceses where KB is located.
