The Power to Preach: A Conversation About Ordaining Women as Deacons [WEBINAR]
WEBINAR DATE AND TIME: Apr 29, 2021 06:00 PM in Eastern Time
On the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, a lay member of the Order of Preachers, join a conversation with the founders of Discerning Deacons, a new initiative that is engaging Catholics in the discernment of our Church about the ordination of women to the diaconate. At this event, witness the historical and contemporary diaconal ministry of Catholic women; explore the potential impact of women deacons in your parish, community and beyond; and discern how to participate in Pope Francis’ vision for a “synodal church” that walks together.

“I know that women are being called by the Holy Spirit and women are living diakonia in creative, ordinary ways today. Now, as a mother of a toddler girl, I want to discern with the Church on how to make way for her to discern her own future calling, should the Spirit call her.”

“If women were able to serve as deacons, it would magnify the grace and love of God and make it more widely available.”

“I was not raised Catholic but converted in my adult life. As a child, Mother Mary would appear to me often…I believe Mary appearing to me as a child who knew nothing about the Catholic Church was more than her wanting me to find Christ through the Church. I believe she came to me because I was meant to do more for the Church.”
