Wednesday evening, for the Zoom event with Dr. Carolyn Woo about her book, "Rising: Learning from Women's Leadership in Catholic Ministries", Kristen Templin hosted a watch party in her home in the Diocese of Belleville (Illinois). Women from the parishes of St. Bernard, St. Damian, and St. Boniface gathered to listen to the Zoom event followed by their own discussion. They discovered that they are all hungry to minister in various ways, but not always sure where to start. To keep each other accountable and provide support, the group has set a date for the next gathering.
