About
Our Beginning
Catholic Women Disciples: What is it, How it Began, and Why?
I was motivated to create Catholic Women Disciples after reading the book Poem of the Man God by Maria Valtorta, a Catholic mystic who was known to have been receiving visitations from Jesus and His Mother, Mary, from 1943 to 1951.
Deeply moved by the written account of Maria Valtorta on the events of the life of Jesus and Mary as Jesus Himself recounted to her I was greatly motivated to create this website naming it Catholic Women Disciples in honor of the first women disciples back in the day, two thousand years ago.
As for myself, I started writing seriously at the age of 17.
My first writing breakthrough was having an article published at a major publication – Woman’s Home Companion magazine – during my sophomore year in college, back in my home county -the Philippines.
I have then written articles and contributed stories to magazines and newspapers.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication major in Journalism.
I have worked as a researcher/analyst at the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Manila, has held the position of Presidential Staff Officer III at the Office of the President of the Philippines in Malacanang, Manila and has worked as a Press Assistant and telephone operator/ receptionist at the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C., U.S.A.
I currently live with my family in Centreville, Virginia, United States.
I intend to share my life’s journey as a Catholic and to share in the task of discipleship as Jesus wanted us all to be.

Our Story
Catholic Women Disciples was birthed out of a desire to further the knowledge and wisdom of women (as well as men – why not!) about the Church that Jesus built two thousand years ago here on earth.
It aims to empower women – not by striving to put themselves aggressively infront of the leadership arena but – by humbly submitting to the primary role that Jesus gave to them when He elected the first women disciples, and that was to support the men in their task of making disciples to all nations of the earth.
The creator of this website is a wife, mom and grandma to three adorable kids (one girl and two boys). She spends her spare time writing in her blogs (and perfecting this website, which never happens – obviously!).
She loves to read religious (mostly Catholic) books.
Hermie Climaco is a passionate Catholic and aims to share to the world her faith and spiritual journey as a Catholic through this website.
Thank you for visiting Catholic Women Disciples. A place of learning, wisdom, faith development and spiritual and personal enrichment for women in the Catholic Church.
