December 2016
We
want to keep you informed about ARCWP. Soon you will be receiving our new quarterly
newsletter, LEADING. We cannot continue to flourish
without your prayers, interest and support.
Since
2010, we have grown significantly in number from an initial group of 6 priests to
58 priests, 7 deacons, 5 candidates and several applicants in 2016. Our members
work throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and South America. We are a
branch of the international women priest movement. Our preparation program is
life-long and integrates the mystical, prophetic and inclusive sacramental
celebrations with contemporary theology.
ARCWP
is a prophetic movement dedicated to gender equality, acceptance of all God’s
children, and a return to the true meaning of the gospel. Embracing simplicity, kindness, and
love of each other is evident through the willingness to aid those who require
assistance. Our desire is to carry
this message to everyone by working in hospices,
universities, and servicing small faith communities. We serve the homeless, the
sick and dying, the addicted, the abused, the neglected and the
marginalized…the ones no one else wants to notice. We vigorously advocate for
social justice.
And
we need your help. If possible, please make a donation to our cause. Our Association
must educate our candidates in contemporary theology, grow our movement through
outreach and media, and defray the cost of ordinations. Any support, no matter
the amount, is graciously accepted and makes you a part of our movement for
justice and equality in our Church.
Your
donation can be sent via credit card on our website (www.arcwp.org)
where you can scroll down to the “donate” tab or mailed to: ARCWP, PO Box 2685,
Orland Park, IL 60462.
With
gratitude and daily prayer,
The Association of
Roman Catholic Women Priests
Rev. Terese Kasper, Treasurer
