WOC is in Rome!
The Women’s Ordination Conference is in Rome throughout the month of October for the Synod on Synodality. Our witness is essential to ensure women’s voices, experiences, stories, and vocations are not erased or silenced in the synodal process. We will work for accountability to the grassroots, and be an uncompromising voice for equitable inclusion of women at every level of the church.
For additional information or media requests, please contact Executive Director Kate McElwee at kmcelwee@womensordination.org.
