More than 500 people from across the United States and several other countries joined a virtual prayer service for the Feast of St. Phoebe, the deacon St. Paul commends in Romans 16:1-2.
We prayed for the ministry of deacons, for the papal commission on the female diaconate, and for the church to again receive women as ordained deacons. We also heard testimonies from Catholic women who experience a call to diaconal ministry.
