At the training, together we will dive into our toolkit, share our stories and learn about best practices for relational meetings and recruiting people to participate in the conversation.

“I’m not sure I’m really called to be a deacon, but even the chance to have a platform in front of a parish during mass would be a revelation for folks, especially people who experience gender discrimination. The Church would start to live out a truer version of universality.”

“Women have been the caregivers and great support of most churches. Why? Because we deal with the personhood of the ordinary. The everyday matters of living. To me, that is what a deacon is. She extends the Church to the common community: visiting the sick and dying, helping parents with family problems, attending as a lector at Mass, burying the dead, and comforting families.”

“It is time for our Church to acknowledge the role of countless women serving the people of God in positions of ministry and leadership.”
