Fr. Scott Santarosa, S.J.
Pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in San Diego, former provincial of Jesuits West province.
April 26, 2021

“I know there is great hunger for the sacraments, and I believe women deacons could help the Church significantly in much-needed sacramental ministry. Further, I believe having women preach the Word would help the gospel be more accessible and spiritually fruitful to a greater percentage of the population.”

Witness
“And when I get antsy waiting, as I often do, I remember the women I met who showed me that the ‘not yet’ is an “already.” Women deacons have existed and continue to exist. Someday, I may be one of them.“
Julia D’Agostino, MDiv

Witness
“I have not given a thought about becoming a deacon, but would consider the possibility if asked to become a deacon. Ultimately, I know and feel strongly that the presence of women ministerially can have a profound impact on the Church.”
Kathy Herrington
Lector and Community Minister, Northbrook, IL
Witness
“God has a marvelous plan in all things and whether or not I am called to the diaconate, my service to God and God’s people will always continue. Discerning is a process that always comes with change.”
Helena Ditko
Parish Council Member & Catechist, San Fernando Region, CA,
