Desde 2020, cada mes de septiembre, Discerning Deacons celebra la fiesta de Santa Febe, la diácona, animando a comunidades de todo el mundo a rezar y celebrar en su honor.
Juntos guiamos a nuestras comunidades de fe para..
- Celebrar a Santa Febe en el día de su conmemoración (o en una fecha cercana) del 3 de septiembre
- Oren por la Iglesia universal durante el Sínodo Global y su implementación, mientras discernimos sobre la participación de las mujeres.
- Celebrar las voces y los dones de las mujeres líderes de nuestras comunidades.
- Ofrecer a nuestras comunidades la oportunidad de crecer en la comprensión y el ejercicio de su vocación bautismal a la diaconía: tender puentes, servir con humildad en la liturgia, la Palabra y la acción social, especialmente con los marginados.
Nos reuniremos virtualmente el 3 de septiembre y animaremos a las comunidades católicas a organizar oraciones y celebraciones locales en honor a Santa Febe durante todo el mes de septiembre.

South Seattle Parish Family
“We are happy to be able to share about women in the Church who lead and are heard, especially for the youngest amongst us who need to hear this message.”

St. Margaret of Scotland
“Growing the devotion to St. Phoebe in our community was certainly a goal it felt like we were closer to achieving. Together, we prayed also for the Synod, and for our shared call to pay attention, pray and continue to discuss women’s leadership and ministry in the Church. We know this is just the beginning of our conversation together!”

St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church
“So many older adults from our congregation, both men and women, were thrilled to hear of this discernment and of the witness of St. Phoebe. The response from our community most definitely helped us to realize and remember that we are not alone on this journey of uplifting women in the Church!”

University of Dayton Campus Ministry
“It was especially meaningful to hear a woman break open the scripture for our community. This is just the beginning of raising awareness on our campus of the witness and ministry of St. Phoebe, and the witness of women in our community. Together, we are just beginning our journey of rethinking women’s participation in the Church.”

Prayer to St. Phoebe
Prayer to St. Phoebe
By Elizabeth Young, RSM
God of Vision,
You see beyond our horizons and enlarge our tents.
You draw us into communion, participation and mission.
Inspired by St. Phoebe, our Deacon forebear in faith,
may we hear the cries of those who suffer,
discern our response with the Holy Spirit,
and reach out in ministry
to share the Good News with all creation.
May we proclaim your Reign,
in which all are kin,
welcomed with healing and hope.
May our Church lead and serve
in the spirit of Jesus,
who raised up those bowed down.
God of Vision,
light our way that all might shine.
Santa Febe, ruega por nosotros.
Amen.
