Women in the life and mission of the Catholic Church in the world: on the Synodal path

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.
