A Catholic Women's Ministry in Cedar Rapids

Magnificat Ministry is a Catholic women's ministry rooted in the heart of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Here you will find a space of authentic friendship and accompaniment, a place to experience the healing touch of God's mercy through affirmation and spiritual insight. Women have a unique gift to walk with others in their joyful and sorrowful places. You don't have to do this alone.

Whether you're deepening your prayer life, looking for genuine friendships, or seeking ways to serve, Magnificat is a place where you belong.

We were wounded in isolation, and it is in relationship that we heal.

"It is not necessary to teach others, to cure them or to improve them; it is only necessary to live among them, sharing the human condition and being present to them in love."
St. Charles de Foucauld

Rooted in Discipleship

Each week we gather around one of these four pillars, following the pattern Jesus set with His disciples.

Fellowship

Building real, lasting friendships through shared meals, gatherings, and everyday moments of connection. No woman walks alone here.

Service

Answering Christ's call to serve our parish, our community, and one another. Faith in action, hands and hearts working together.

Formation

A place of accompaniment and authenticity where you are seen, heard, and loved. Come grow deeper in holiness and healing through community and spiritual reflections.

Worship

Encountering God together in prayer, adoration, and the sacraments. Worship is the heartbeat of everything we do.

Stories of Faith & Friendship

Coming soon. We're working on reflections, encouragements, and real stories from our ministry community.

"Community is a fellowship of people who do not hide their joys and sorrows but make them visible to each other as a gesture of hope."
