Lee los informes de algunas de las parroquias, institutos, universidades y otras organizaciones católicas que celebraron la fiesta de Santa Febe en septiembre de 2023 y 2024.
“Conocer la historia de las mujeres en el diaconado dio contexto a los esfuerzos por permitir la participación de las mujeres en el diaconado hoy en día, y fue muy significativo celebrar a Santa Febe y ensalzar el ministerio de las mujeres en nuestra propia comunidad”.
“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!”
“Our journey is just beginning. Before the event, many participants were unfamiliar with St. Phoebe, feeling disconnected from the Synod, and unaware of the conversation around women in the diaconate. People left energized, informed and with materials to continue the conversation with others. We hope that this event was simply the beginning of our journey together.”
“What surprised us, was that nobody was saying, “oh it’s a woman doing a reflection” instead what we heard was, “I didn’t know anything about Saint Phoebe”. We were pleased and delighted by our community’s response!”

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.
