“Pope Francis has invited the Church to explore the question of women deacons — and I believe Discerning Deacons is an important, prayerful and faithful addition to this exploration. With humility, intelligence and fidelity, this group is seeking to discern God’s will, wherever that may lead. I admire their spirit. I’m praying with them and for them, and hope more people will, too!”

“I have always felt like God equips us with the gifts we need along our journey as we need. This has certainly been true throughout my life, which I am so deeply grateful for. I always say, it’s not me, it has to be God!”

“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.”
