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.
“[W]e organized an event for individuals from the parish and surrounding parishes to prayerfully reflect upon and learn about the witness of St. Phoebe and the role of women in the Church on the feast of St. Phoebe…The joy, hope and energy from this event was palpable…At least 12 area parishes were represented. This event raised so much awareness of St. Phoebe, and many shared their own experiences and witnesses with courage.”
“Members of the parish were deeply moved by the reflections shared, and as a community we are committed to joining with others in prayer for the ongoing Synod. These Masses raised awareness for many in our community, as many were not at all aware of St. Phoebe’s witness or the Synod. As a parish we are excited to continue the momentum from this event for the ongoing synodal process of journeying together!”
“Some mothers from our parish shared their fierce hope that maybe their young daughters will have the opportunity to serve as deacons.”
“The icon of St. Phoebe is still present in our Chapel today, where we are able to remember her witness and ask her to intercede on our behalf.”

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.
