Catholics Send Up Pink
Smoke in Front of St. Andrew UCC
And Celebrate a Mass
with Women Priests and Married Priests
To Support Women Priests
in the Church
WHAT: Local Catholics will gather at St. Andrew
UCC on March 12th at 10:30 am for
a prayerful liturgy calling for full equality for women in the Catholic Church.
We pray for a new pope who will honor women's voices in Church decision-making
and will affirm women priests and married priests in the institutional church. This
vigil is part of an international series of protest vigils in response to the male-only
conclave deciding the next Pope.
WHERE: St. Andrew UCC
at 6908 Beneva Rd., Sarasota, Florida 34238
WHEN: Tuesday, March 12th at 10:30 am
WHEN: Tuesday, March 12th at 10:30 am
WHO: Approximately 30 Catholics and women’s
ordination supporters will gather locally; additional vigils will take place in
ten cities throughout the U.S. and in Rome.
WHY:
The male-only College of
Cardinals will gather to elect the next Pope in the coming days. We gather to bring
worldwide attention to the lack of women’s voices at the conclave, and protest
the ban on women from all leadership and decision-making positions in the Catholic
church.
