Louise Beggs
Small Faith Group Pastoral Minister, Ottawa, Canada
January 12, 2022
“Our Church needs women to be fully alive and active in and through her. I hope I see women welcomed to enter and live the diaconate in our Catholic Church in my lifetime. I would sign up yesterday.”
‘The more voices we hear and listen to in our Church, the better. I love our Church, so it is all about growing our Church to a greater height and breadth. Half the voices have yet to be heard.”
Louise Beggs is a small Faith Group Pastoral Ministry in Ottawa, Canada.

“I know that women are being called by the Holy Spirit and women are living diakonia in creative, ordinary ways today. Now, as a mother of a toddler girl, I want to discern with the Church on how to make way for her to discern her own future calling, should the Spirit call her.”

“If women were able to serve as deacons, it would magnify the grace and love of God and make it more widely available.”

“I was not raised Catholic but converted in my adult life. As a child, Mother Mary would appear to me often…I believe Mary appearing to me as a child who knew nothing about the Catholic Church was more than her wanting me to find Christ through the Church. I believe she came to me because I was meant to do more for the Church.”
