At St. Martin de Porres in Toledo, OH, we celebrated St. Phoebe with a Mass on September 3, 2023 that featured information about St. Phoebe, an opening song that lifted up the role of women in the Church, women as liturgical ministers, and a reflection shared by parishioner Kelly Sankowski. We are excited about the conversation this started in our parish. Some parishioners expressed their deep hope that, although the uplifting of women in the Church has often been absent in their own lives, that this can be different for coming generations. As a community, we are committed to continuing this conversation, praying for the ongoing Synod and continuing to uplift the voices of women ministering in the Church in both seen and unseen ways!
