Dominican University

St. Phoebe Day provided an opportunity for the three Dominican communities in Oak Park and River Forest, Illinois to come together to celebrate and do what Dominicans aim to do best: pursue Truth. About 40 members of Dominican University, Fenwick, and Trinity High Schools gathered to share a meal, listen to stories from three young women who feel called to leadership in the Church, have a synodal discussion, and celebrate the Eucharist at the university’s weekly 8pm Candlelight Mass. Students, staff, faculty, and community members were nourished and energized by fellowship, authentic conversation, and prayer. St. Phoebe Day created space for conversations rooted in truth: the truth of our individual experiences, our shared faith, and who and how we are called to be as Church.

“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.”
