Roman Catholic Women Priests in Rome: Christina Moreira ARCWP at Vatican today

Christina Moreira ARCWP in St. Peter’s Square today 

In this historical moment ,Roman Catholic Women Priests are in Rome to share our experiences of a renewed priestly ministry in inclusive communities around the world.   We are hopeful that the Spirit is moving in a new way that is welcoming and inclusive. The Synodal documents call the Church to enlarge the “tent” for the marginalized and excluded and to create a “space of communion, a place of participation, and a foundation for mission.”  We call on Pope Francis to “walk the talk”  by  meeting with us at this Synod on Synodality  for a conversation about the diverse ways women priests are living radical hospitality and baptismal equality in sacramental  and justice ministries.  We have much to share! “Enlarge the place of your tent,  stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back;  lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.”  - Isaiah 54:2   Roman Catholic Women Priests are going to Rome, Italy, during the October Synod to share our lived experiences in widening the Church’s tent – October 5-15, 2023. Join us on October 11 at Casa Bonus Pastor to meet women priests who are leading the Church toward full equality of ordained women in ministry in inclusive communities and ministries where all are welcome.  Place: Casa Bonus Pastor Address: Via Aurelia, 208 - 00165  Rome, Italy Phone:  +39 06 69871282   Agenda for October 11, 2023 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM meet and greet, interviews with press 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM – Multi-media presentation and panel by women priests on: redefining ministry in a community of equals; expanding role of the baptized in liturgical ministry following Jesus’ teaching on prophetic obedience creating a home in the Church for everyone; moving the Church from hierarchy to sacred circles in community decision-making; promoting social justice for all people, everywhere.   12:00 PM – 2:00 PM – lunch, informal discussions and interviews 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM – repeat of morning program Break: Time for Conversation and interviews 5:00 PM- 6:00PM Joint Liturgy with the Catholic Women's Council  For more information contact: Rev.
