What is sexual integrity? Is it even possible in our age? How is sexuality connected to our journey toward union with God?

This short online course explores such questions and presents the power, beauty, and challenges of living out our human sexuality as married or single Catholics. Dr. Patricia Cooney Hathaway, Professor of Spirituality and Systematic Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary, presents the path to fuller sexual integrity. The course features an array of credible witnesses from a variety of vocations and life circumstances—both men and women—who share personal stories and professional insights about growing closer to God through living a more spiritual and integral sexual life.

Come and join us this Lent as we journey down the path of reclaiming integrity, wholeness, and intimacy!

Hear what Fr. John Riccardo has to say about the Course!


How is this course structured?

Each module will be hosted by Dr. Patricia Cooney Hathaway, Professor of Spirituality and Systematic Theology, and taught by a different, highly esteemed scholar or professional from the married or single states. Each module will include:

- Lecture Video (~20 minutes)
- Lectio Divina Exercise (~10 minutes)
- Live Discussion Activity (Zoom) (~30 minutes)
- Personal Assessment Quiz (~5 minutes)
- Supplemental Reading Material

The goal of the course is not to deliver a high level of rigor or stress, but instead expose Catholics who want to learn more about living out healthy sexuality as an integral part of our relationship with God.

Consider this a Lenten study or retreat experience, done at your own pace.  This is an opportunity to grow deeper in your relationship with the Lord and with others.
