Phoebe Day Kickoff Calls
Will your community join Discerning Deacons in September 2023 as we pray for the synod, celebrate women’s gifts, and bear witness to the critical and urgent call to re-think women’s participation in the Church echoed across every continent during the synod?
Whether you’ve already got your Phoebe Day celebration on the parish calendar or are just learning about Phoebe Day for the first time, join this call to learn about how your parish or community can be a part of the Church’s ongoing discernment about re-thinking women’s roles in a synodal church by hosting a Phoebe Day celebration on or near September 2023.
Register for one of our kick-off calls this March:

Witness
“I felt seen in my call to pastoral care, to teaching, to preaching—just as clearly as my ordained colleagues are seen in theirs. I felt valued. Not invisible. Not dismissed. I don’t know what the future holds—for me, or for the role of women in the Church. But I know this: I have hope.”

Witness
“If I were a deacon, I would have the support of other deacons and a community where I could draw strength through prayer and discernment. Women would have the privilege of speaking about Catholic social teaching from the ambo. I do believe women as deacons would renew the face of the Church.”

Organization
“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.”
