HONORING WOMEN IN OUR PARISH

Every Sunday in September, we highlighted the women who contribute to our community through their work in their ministries.. The speaker series was inspired by the works of St. Phoebe.
St. Phoebe is recognized as the first woman deacon of the early church. St. Paul recognized St. Phoebe, thanking for her hospitality and described her as “a deaconess of the Church at Cenchreae.” Her feast day is September 3.

OCTOBER IS MONTH OF THE ROSARY
