Our liturgy featured hymns highlighting St. Phoebe, a reflection offered by a lay woman, a discussion about St. Phoebe and the ongoing Synod the week before and prayer cards and other informational materials available at the social hour after Mass.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Parishioners responded enthusiastically to our celebration! One parishioner shared her hope that, \u201cNow my daughters can envision an active role for themselves in the future because they saw you share your reflection.\u201d Prior to our celebration together, many parishioners were not familiar with St. Phoebe and her witness and ministry. We hope that we can continue the momentum that we started with our celebration and continue the conversation regarding women\u2019s participation in the Church.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In preparing for our celebration, those involved in planning were able to demonstrate how change within the Church does not need to be cause for division, but rather can bring our community together. <strong>The Church has experienced change before; we should not fear!<\/strong> We will continue on this journey alongside one another.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18417\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18417\" src=\"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3146.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3146.jpg 601w, https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3146-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/discerningdeacons.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG_3146-9x12.jpg 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Rose Hesselbrock offers a Gospel reflection, speaking from St. Phoebe&#8217;s perspective.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cDurante los preparativos de nuestra celebraci\u00f3n, los que participaron en la planificaci\u00f3n pudieron demostrar que los cambios dentro de la Iglesia no tienen por qu\u00e9 ser motivo de divisi\u00f3n, sino que pueden unir a nuestra comunidad.
