5-02 Unleashing the Gifts of Women for a Synodal Church
Ellie Hidalgo and Karen Luna
Pope Francis and the Vatican have taken several steps in the last few years so that women's vocational gifts can flourish for the good of the Church's evangelizing mission. Recent changes include reform of the curia, the installation of women as lectors and acolytes, and the creation of the lay ministry of catechists as a vocation. In this workshop, we will take a look at how this is part of the wider synodal journey for the renewal of the Church in the third millennium.
