Women in the life and mission of the Catholic Church in the world: on the Synodal path - 9th March

A special Lenten event 

The participants at the Assembly of the Synod on Synodality in Rome last October recognised that “in Christ, women and men are clothed with the same baptismal dignity (Gal 3:28) and receive equally the variety of gifts of the Spirit.” They said it was “urgent to ensure that women can participate in decision-making processes and assume roles of responsibility in pastoral care and ministry.”

Join us for a special hybrid event this Lent, hosted by the Centre for Catholic Education, Research and Religious Literacy (CERRL) St Mary’s Twickenham and CAFOD to examine how our Church can recognise and value the active contribution of women and enhance the pastoral leadership of women in all areas of the Catholic Church’s life and mission, all over the world.

Keynote Speakers

• Sr Francisca Ngozi Uti, HHCJ is Director of the Centre for Women Studies and Intervention in Nigeria and a sister of the Congregation of the Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus.
