The third of three vigils outside St. Patrick’s attracted well over 100 on Tuesday, May 29th as we showed our public support for the Leadership Conference of Religious Women and for all the religious women the LCWR represents. Thanks to all for showing your support.
Here are the pictures from the May 29th NYC vigil: 3rd NYC Pro Sisters Vigil (Facebook)
Thanks to Matt Rosenwasser for taking the photos and posting them for us all to enjoy. Please forward to your personal contact lists.
The LCWR is meeting this week to decide on a response to the ‘doctrinal assessment’ from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. May our prayers be with the sisters as they seek to discern the movement of the Holy Spirit during this difficult time.
A special thanks to all the members of Voice of the Faithful® and Call to Action New York who banded together for this important witness. We can take justifiable pride in the public statement we made on three successive Tuesdays in May, joining with vigilers in many cities across the US. May this action be an inspiration for more public actions in the future as we work to inspire Catholics across the US and around the world to stand in defense against those who reject the wisdom of the People of God.
