Join us on the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene for a timely virtual conversation with Dr. Phyllis Zagano, internationally recognized scholar and one of the leading voices on women and the diaconate in the Catholic Church, as she discusses her newest book, The Vatican and Women Deacons. Drawing on decades of historical research and firsthand experience serving on Pope Francis’ commission on women deacons, Dr. Zagano will explore the Vatican’s evolving discernment, the Synod on Synodality, and why the question of women in the diaconate remains open—and urgent—for the Church today.
