Remember that song from the Sixties, “Stop, in the name of Love!”? Don’t you sometimes want to sing it, shout it, pray it, from the rafters of your heart, mind, and spirit when the Church perpetrates another injustice? Well, here is your chance. Holy Thursday 2019. April 18. 11 a.m. Join us in singing, proclaiming more than shouting, and praying for inclusion, for justice, within our own Church. You can do something; you are doing something, just by being there.

THIS IS HOW THE LIGHT GETS OUT!
ORDINATION DAY MASS
SATURDAY, MAY 18 at 9:15AM

Sister Cities Park, 18th & JFK Parkway
(Across from Sts. Peter & Paul Basilica)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

On this day, at this outdoor Mass, we both lament the loss of the gifts of women to official Catholic ministry and celebrate what they already are and can be, with a liturgy led by a woman. We stand outside the Church praying our gratitude for the treasures all people can bestow on the faithful while others stand inside the Church affirming only men as having those treasures and sanctioned for bestowing them. This Mass is both poignant and uplifting, a lamentation and a rejoicing. Please join us. We need you.

AND TO ALL WHO WITNESS, MAY THIS “ANTHEM,” SING:

“Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in”

(Thank you songwriter, Leonard Cohen.)
