Join Discerning Deacons and Catholics around the world on Zoom to celebrate the Feast of St. Phoebe – deacon, leader, and witness to the Gospel – with prayer, storytelling, and hope for a more synodal Church. As we honor St. Phoebe’s witness, we will pray for the grace to bridge the divides that keep us from fully co-laboring in the Gospel and entrust ourselves to the Holy Spirit, who continues to guide the Church toward deeper communion, participation, and mission.
8:00am ET | International Prayer Service
Begin the day in prayer with Catholics from around the world. Together we will celebrate the diaconal vocation of women, pray for a Church that walks together in mission, and ask the Holy Spirit to continue opening pathways of peace, participation, and co-responsibility.
8:00pm ET | St. Phoebe Day Celebration with Discerning Deacons
Gather with our community for an evening of prayer, inspiration, and celebration. Together we will reflect on enduring partnerships in mission—from St. Phoebe and St. Paul, St. Olympias and St. John Chrysostom, and St. Clare and St. Francis—to the women and men embodying co-responsibility in the Church today.
Everyone is warmly welcome. Come for one gathering or celebrate with us throughout the day!
