Join the Minnesota Discerning Deacons team and other action-oriented Catholics for an engaging afternoon of dynamic speakers, communal prayer, and lively small-group discussions about the good news for women coming out of the recent Global Synod on Synodality. Get updated on the new magisterial teaching about the expanding roles for women in the Catholic Church, including the ongoing discernment about restoring women to the diaconate. Practice a “Conversation in the Spirit,” a new way of speaking and listening used at the Global Synod. Learn concrete actions steps outlined in the Global Synod’s final document and how you can step into action to help our Church recognize and utilize the leadership gifts of women.
Don’t just watch the new life emerging in our Church, be a part of it. There are lots of reasons to be Pilgrims of Hope in the year ahead!
This event is designed for Twin Cities area Catholics, but everyone interested in the topic is welcome to attend! Contact Lisa Amman at lisa@discerningdeacons.org if you have questions about the event.
