Dear Community of Supporters,
As Roman Catholic Womenpriests in the South grow, we invite you to partner with us on our journey to a renewed priestly ministry united with the people with whom we serve.
The Roman Catholic Womenpriests movement is an initiative within the Church that began with the ordination of seven women on the Danube River in 2002. Reclaiming our ancient spiritual heritage, womenpriests are shaping a more inclusive, Christ-centered Church of equals in the twenty-first century. Women bishops ordained in full apostolic succession continue to carry on the work of ordaining others in the Roman Catholic Church. We are rooted in a response to Jesus who called women and men to be disciples and equals living the Gospel.
We invite you to support our movement in the southern region with your prayers and financial gifts. Some of our current needs are:
-ordination expenses including the upcoming episcopal consecrations, and support of candidates with limited resources
-a billboard in a location close to our next ordination site in the Atlanta area. We plan to use a colorful graphic of women in the early church celebrating Eucharist. The message will read Roman Catholic Womenpriests reclaiming our ancient heritage and include our web site.
-resources including a house for homeless women in southwest Florida. As part of our work for gender justice and equality, we plan to help raise funds to support this outreach of Good Shepherd Ministries SWFL,Inc. (a non-profit ) Roman Catholic Womanpriest Judy Lee, serves in this inclusive, interfaith ministry
We appreciate your generosity. Send your check or money payable to Roman Catholic Womenpriests, Inc. and please write "Southern Region" in the memo section of your check.
