Be a Mary Magdalene Advocate

What does it mean to be a Mary Magdalene Advocate?

The 2024 Synod offers another opportunity to raise awareness about the “woman gaps” in the Lectionary and to share the Good News that women have been integral to shaping our Christian tradition and their inspirational stories should be included in the stories we hear proclaimed on Sundays, holy days, and weekdays.

Mary Magdalene advocates offer help in many different ways by

• Sharing information with others in the community or parish
• Reaching out to bishops and priests 
• Signing our petition and urging others to sign as well
• Writing letters to synod participants, leaders in Rome, etc.

Please join us in raising awareness that too many essential, inspirational stories of our foremothers in faith are not being proclaimed on Sunday or throughout our three-year lectionary cycle.  

FutureChurch is offering training, educational resources, and monthly support meetings so that, together, we can work with other Catholics, including synod participants, our bishops, priests, worship committees, and officials in the Vatican to raise awareness about the need to include more stories of our foremothers in faith in the lectionary.
