Our Story
Catholic Women Disciples was born from a simple desire: to help women discover, rediscover, and deepen their relationship with God through the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith.
In a world filled with noise, distractions, uncertainty, and countless voices competing for our attention, we need a place where we can pause, pray, listen, and remember what truly matters.
We need God.
And we need one another.
Catholic Women Disciples is a faith-filled space created especially for women who desire to grow closer to Jesus Christ and live their Catholic faith more deeply—not only inside the church, but in the ordinary circumstances of everyday life.
A Journey of Faith
My own journey has taught me that faith is not always a straight path.
I was born Catholic and grew up in the Catholic faith, but there was a time in my life when I came close to walking away. Through God’s grace, prayer, and the people He placed in my life, I found my way back.
That experience changed the way I looked at my faith.
I began to understand that Catholicism is not simply a religion we inherit. It is an invitation to enter into a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
It is a journey.
A journey of prayer.
A journey of trust.
A journey of falling and getting back up.
A journey of discovering God’s mercy even in our weaknesses.
And above all, it is a journey toward God.
Why “Catholic Women Disciples”?
The word disciple comes from the idea of being a learner or follower. As Catholic women, we are called not only to know about Jesus, but to follow Him.
We are called to listen to His Word, receive Him in the Holy Eucharist, imitate His love, and bring His light into our families, communities, workplaces, and the world around us.
Catholic Women Disciples is therefore not about being perfect Catholic women.
It is about being faithful women who are continually learning to follow Christ.
Whether you are a mother, wife, grandmother, daughter, single woman, professional, homemaker, caregiver, or simply a woman searching for a deeper relationship with God, you are welcome here.
What You Will Find Here
Through Catholic Women Disciples, I share reflections and resources centered on:
The Holy Eucharist and the Holy Mass
Prayer and Scripture
Our Blessed Mother Mary
The saints and their examples of holiness
Catholic teachings and traditions
Faith in everyday life
Family and motherhood
Suffering, forgiveness, and healing
Trusting God during difficult seasons
Stories and lessons from my own journey of faith
Some reflections may come from Scripture. Others may be inspired by a homily, a feast day, a saint, a moment at Mass, or simply something God places upon my heart.
My hope is that something you read here will encourage you to stop for a moment, turn your heart toward God, and perhaps whisper a simple prayer:
“Jesus, help me come closer to You.”
The Heart of This Ministry
At the heart of Catholic Women Disciples is the Holy Eucharist.
The Mass has become one of the deepest sources of inspiration in my own faith journey.
There is something profoundly beautiful about entering a Catholic church, kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament, hearing the Word of God proclaimed, and witnessing the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
It reminds us that no matter what we are carrying when we walk through the church doors, we are never alone.
Christ is there.
And He continues to call us:
“Come to me…”
— Matthew 11:28
My prayer is that Catholic Women Disciples will help lead women back to that invitation—to come to Jesus, remain with Him, and allow Him to transform our lives.

A woman who grows in faith does not grow for herself alone.
Her faith can touch her husband.
Her children.
Her grandchildren.
Her friends.
Her parish.
Her community.
And generations that may come after her.
This is why I believe that Catholic women have a beautiful and important role in the life of the Church.
We are called to become disciples first—and then to help others encounter Christ through the way we live, love, forgive, serve, pray, and persevere.
We may not always realize how far the light of one faithful woman can reach.
Our team is dedicated to providing superior customer service and ensuring complete satisfaction.

INCLUSIVE DISCIPLESHIP
Everyone has a place in the mission of Jesus – including women!
My name is Hermie Climaco, and I am a Catholic writer, author, and founder of Catholic Women Disciples.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication, majoring in Journalism, and my professional journey has included work as a researcher and analyst with the Armed Forces of the Philippines, service at the Office of the President of the Philippines, and work at the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C.
But among all the titles and positions I have held in my life, one of the most important to me is simply this:
Catholic woman.
I am also a wife and mother, and much of what I write comes from the joys, struggles, questions, disappointments, and lessons that come with walking through life while trying to remain close to God.
My book, Closer to God: A Journey of Faith, Prayer, and Grace, is another expression of that journey.
I do not write because I have all the answers.
I write because I am still learning.
Still praying.
Still seeking.
Still becoming.
Still walking toward God.
And I invite you to walk with me.
Come, Let Us Walk Together
Catholic Women Disciples is a place for women who want to deepen their faith and draw closer to Jesus.
You do not have to have everything figured out.
You do not have to be a perfect Catholic.
You simply have to be willing to open your heart to God.
Let us pray together.
Let us learn together.
Let us encourage one another.
Let us discover the beauty of our Catholic faith together.
And above all, let us keep our eyes on Jesus.
May Our Blessed Mother Mary, the first and perfect disciple of Christ, teach us how to say “yes” to God each day.
May she lead us closer to her Son.
And may everything we do through Catholic Women Disciples ultimately bring us closer to God.
Welcome to Catholic Women Disciples.
Come and walk with us.
