This study examined the effect of spiritual well-being on eudaimonic well-being among members of the Catholic Women Association (CWA) in Athi River Deanery, Catholic Diocese of Machakos, Kenya. The study was anchored in the Spiritual Well-Being Model and Waterman’s Theory of Eudaimonic Well-Being, which provided a complementary framework for explaining how spiritual resources influence psychological flourishing and human self-realisation. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was adopted. Data were collected from 360 participants selected through proportionate stratified and simple random sampling techniques. The study utilised a structured questionnaire comprising the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and the Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being.

The findings revealed that the majority of participants reported high levels of spiritual well-being (66.7%), while 33.3% demonstrated moderate levels.
