| Mass on Mass: Inclusive Liturgy Sunday, May 12 @ 4 pm WHIMM invites you to celebrate its 5th Anniversary of Mass on Mass (en masse) with an outdoor, inclusive mass with women priests presiding. All are invited to wear purple and/or white. This event is rain or shine–bring a blanket or chair for seating. The liturgy will include sacred dance, and WOC Executive Director Kate McElwee will give the homily. Feel free to bring signs that express your wishes for the church. After the mass, many will walk to the Vatican Embassy for a blessing and delivery of a letter from the WHIMM community reflecting our desire for the church to open the door to ordaining women.
