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:

“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.”

Witness
“I have always viewed my ministry through this lens – out of service for and to the people of God. My intention was and is never to center myself in my ministry as a lay leader, rather my focus was always on how I could better uplift others in our midst. The Holy Spirit has certainly been active in the communities where I have ministered.”

“The mission of Discerning Deacons is important because they are advocating for a larger role for women in the Church, which is hard to do. Discerning Deacons is unafraid to get their hands dirty to bring about a more inclusive Church for women.”
