The premise of this project, which we’re calling “Mainstreaming Women’s Ministries,” is that to create a viable and vibrant future, the Roman Catholic Church must find ways to mainstream instead of marginalize the ministries of women so that parishes throughout North America may be nourished by the leadership and gifts of women.

We seek to give voice to the stories of women who are called to ministry and the paths of formation they pursue. We will explore opportunities available to women; barriers, both perceived and tangible; and support currently available to discerning women. We will situate this in the larger context of the Catholic ministerial landscape within the U.S. and examine whether the “status quo” is institutionally or spiritually sustainable.

You can help us in this research by taking this 10-minute survey or sharing it with someone you know. Thank you!
