Who We Are
Walk with us to the deep waters of peace.
Join us at the Well
Just like the imperfect Samaritan woman who encountered Jesus at the well,
we long to drink deeply from the Well of Living Water, become transformed,
and go forth to invite other women to the Well, who is Jesus!
Our Story
After facilitating several retreats for women, our co-founders Becky and Stephanie noticed the deep desire women possessed to drink from deep waters in their daily lives, outside of retreat formats.Â
With the blessing of the Diocese of Baton Rouge Office of Evangelization and Catechesis, they gathered a group of women from across the Diocese of Baton Rouge to discern a response to the hungers they noticed in women. The idea of offering evenings of reflections for women was born. After a continued year of prayer and discernment, this group of women birthed Women of the Well Ministry.
Becky & Stephanie
With 20 years of friendship and a combined 40 years of guiding people to the deep well moments through retreat ministry, Becky and Stephanie are busy women who share a love of Ignatian spirituality, reading books on the beach, strong coffee, and encouraging others to saturate themselves in the love of God.
