Support WOC!
Let's not forget that the point where the
richness of our inner life meets the power of our convictions is when
we take out our checkbook and back up our beliefs with funding. The success of the Ida Raming Tour has spurred the
interest of many newcomers to the women's ordination movement and has
created a new energy among long-time WOC members. WOC is looking to the
future and we need your support! If you would like to become a WOC member,
if you haven't renewed your WOC membership, or if you are a member and
want to do something extra for women's ordination, now
is the time!
1) BECOME A WOC MEMBER
As a WOC Member, you are joining an organization whose
collective power recognizes and publicly authenticates women's gifts in
the life of the church. WOC helps to provide a “voice for women
in the church” and we need your voice among us! Your WOC membership
donation entitles you to receive a free subscription to WOC's quarterly

4) PRAYER
We would like to ask all of our members to light a

God will lead them. Please pray for WOC members, staff and board for guidance
and inspiration. Let us all continue to pray for WOC and the realization
of women's ordination in the Roman Catholic Church.
