In this podcast, Kristin Molitor from the Institute for Ministry Formation interviews Kim Fleming from St. Joseph Catholic Community in Eldersburg, Maryland.

Kim’s parish was the first to engage with the IMF’s parish accompaniment formation, which included workshops and a retreat. She reflects on how this formation has been incredibly fruitful for both the parish and for her personally, and discusses how the principles of accompaniment have been integrated into her intergenerational women’s group, ‘Women at the Well.’

Kim’s women’s group focuses on vulnerability, personal testimony, and small group sharing, fostering a safe space for women to share their hearts and growth in their faith, leading to significant personal transformations and healing.

Kim shares how being intentional about accompaniment can transform parish groups and nurture genuine spiritual growth.
