Phoebe by explicitly centering the role of women throughout our liturgies. We had an icon of <span class=\"il\">St<\/span>. Phoebe in the center of the church, sang a hymn about <span class=\"il\">St<\/span>. Phoebe, as well as women from the parish sharing reflections at all three Masses and there being a special blessing at the Masses for all women.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">We are excited to simply raise awareness of the existence of female deacons in the early Church. There is now no one at our parish who attended Mass that doesn\u2019t know that there were women deacons, and that this could potentially happen again, as well. Women in ministry matter, and we are glad to be a part of this discernment. After the special blessing for women of the parish, some expressed how special it was to be blessed because it was their first time on the altar. Some mothers from our parish shared their fierce hope that maybe their young daughters will have the opportunity to serve as deacons.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Although it can feel as though many women can be hesitant to take up space or to see themselves as ministers, we have hope that will change over time. We are glad as a parish to raise awareness of the discernment of the ordination of women to the diaconate, the Synod and the ever-present, essential role of women in the Church.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Some mothers from our parish shared their fierce hope that maybe their young daughters will have the opportunity to serve as deacons.&#8221;<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":18518,"template":"","witness-tag":[103],"class_list":["post-18349","witness","type-witness","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.8 -
