We are delighted to report that Mary Mother of Jesus Inclusive Catholic Community is growing during 2011. All are welcome to receive Eucharist at our liturgies on Saturday evenings at 6:00 PM at St. Andrew United Church of Christ. Katy Zatsick, who was ordained a Roman Catholic Woman Priest in Feb. 2010 now lives in Florida and co-presides at our liturgies on a regular basis. Michael Rigdon and Lee Breyer are partner priests who serve our MMOJ community along with a leadership circle of enthusiastic Catholics. All are welcome to worship with us. Join the revolution of Roman Catholic Women Priests in people-empowered grassroots communities rising up for justice and equality for women in the church in the 21st century. We are following Jesus who called women and men as disciples and equals. It is time to take our church back from patriarchial domination that discriminates against women. If you love the sacramental, mystical and social justice tradition and want a more egalitarian community of faith, then join us! Help us make our church a more open, inclusive, Christ-centered and Spirit-empowered.

In this talk, Dr. Fresen draws on medieval as well as contemporary sources to show that compassion can break down political, dogmatic, ideological and religious boundaries. Releasng the energy of compassion into our world is possibly the most important calling each of us has, whoever we are and whatever our life situation may be. (4PM, St. Andrew UCC)
