Here at Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in the Ottawa-Cornwall Diocese in Canada, we honored St. Phoebe and raised awareness of the Synod with Masses on September 10, 2023. At each of the three parish Masses over the weekend, a female parishioner shared a reflection about St. Phoebe and the Synod. We sang hymns together that uplifted St. Phoebe and women in the Church, and St. Phoebe prayer cards were offered after Mass. An icon of St. Phoebe, written by a parishioner, was displayed next to the altar throughout the week leading up to our celebration.

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!

“We are happy to be able to share about women in the Church who lead and are heard, especially for the youngest amongst us who need to hear this message.”

“I have always felt like God equips us with the gifts we need along our journey as we need. This has certainly been true throughout my life, which I am so deeply grateful for. I always say, it’s not me, it has to be God!”

“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.”
