On the Feast of St. Catherine of Siena, a lay member of the Order of Preachers, the leadership team of Discerning Deacons led a conversation about the historical and contemporary diaconal ministry of Catholic women; the potential impact of women deacons in your parish, community and beyond; and how to participate in Pope Francis’ vision for a “synodal church” that walks together.

“A highlight for many present was the Scripture reflection offered by a female parishioner who specifically spoke about her experience as a minister in the Church. At St. William, communal leadership and ministry are a central part of our community’s identity and values.”

“I have always viewed my ministry through this lens – out of service for and to the people of God. My intention was and is never to center myself in my ministry as a lay leader, rather my focus was always on how I could better uplift others in our midst. The Holy Spirit has certainly been active in the communities where I have ministered.”

“The mission of Discerning Deacons is important because they are advocating for a larger role for women in the Church, which is hard to do. Discerning Deacons is unafraid to get their hands dirty to bring about a more inclusive Church for women.”
