Unleashing the Gifts of Women for the Church

120 North Front Street,Baltimore MD 21202

Description

On Saturday, September 24, at 10 AM join us at St. Vincent de Paul Church Baltimore as Casey Stanton and Ellie Hidalgo, Co-Directors of Discerning Deacons lead us in dialogue on the role of women in the Church. Should women be ordained as Deacons in the Catholic Church?To preside at marriages, funerals & burial services, lead communities and groups in service to the poor, perform baptisms, read the Gospel, and preach the homily at Mass? Is there today a synodal call to unleash the gifts of women for the life of the Church? The question of women and the diaconate is a living conversation. In a listening, participatory and synodal Church, it is a question not only for gatherings of the synod of bishops and for papal commissions, but also a discernment for the entire people of God.
