St. Phoebe Day

Each September, joining Catholic communities globally, we honor St. Phoebe. In his letter to the Romans, St. Paul introduces St. Phoebe as his representative and a “minister of the church at Cenchreae,” urging the Roman church to “receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the holy ones” (Romans 16:1-2). Last year, our September commemoration aligned with the General Assembly of the Synod in Rome that October, which listened to and focused on many themes raised by the worldwide faithful, including women’s contributions to and participation in the local and global Church.

During all Masses on September 12 & 13, five women leaders from our parish will offer spiritual reflections on the Sunday scriptures.
