Giving the gift of women in honor of the Pope's birthday visit

Pope Benedict XVI visited Washington, DC from April 15-17. On the night of April 14, the day before he arrived, we gave the gift of women's leadership, just in time for his 81st birthday, on April 16.

Thank you for joining us!

On April 14, over 100 people joined us for our inclusive Eucharistic liturgy presided by five Catholic women in Washington, DC at Foundry United Methodist Church

WOC events in thirteen cities!

WOC members organized similar events calling for women's full inclusion in the church and were featured in many news outlets.

WOC members organized events of every kind, from demonstrations on cathedral steps to living room prayer circles. Our prayers were a witness of, and a call for, the change we know our church needs. Events occurred in the following cities:

  • Washingon, DC

  • St. Louis, MO
  • Louisville, KY
