Olympia woman ordained as state's 1st female priest by Roman Catholic Womenpriests
Seattle Times staff reporter
"Diane Whalen, 58, a spiritual director, wife and mother of two, was ordained last Saturday in a ceremony attended by about 300 people at Longhouse Education and Cultural Center at The Evergreen State College..."
"...The church is in trouble right now, and we need the wisdom of women," she said. "Unless there's a vehicle for that, that's not going to happen."
Whalen intends to minister to those who feel alienated from the church but want to continue worshipping together as Catholics...
