On Being a Catholic Woman Today
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Thursday, April 12, 2012
In preparation for a talk I am giving this weekend with the Rockford, IL Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, I was doing a bit of research and stumbled across this wonderful video that highlights women’s contribution and Pope Benedict XVI’s March general intention:
“That the whole world may recognize the contribution of women to the development of society.”
While pausing to pray this intention regularly... READ MORE
On Friendship

I was fortunate to attend the Behold conference last weekend. The speakers (especially the lovely, brave Kate Wicker) were inspiring and the Holy Spirit was definitely present there, not just in the Adoration chapel and during Mass but among all the attendees, women of every age and vocation doing their best to learn about God and serve him.
My twins came with me, and fortunately a friend came along... READ MORE

This past weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking at the annual convention for the Winona Diocesan Council of Catholic Women in Worthington, Minnesota. I was with them Friday night when their Executive Board met to go over plans for the upcoming year, and Saturday when their local Bishop installed the new officers. I witnessed scores of women coming together from as far away as six hours, to pray,... READ MORE
A Woman's Place

It is not widely known that the idea to hold these congresses came from a woman, a French woman called Emilie-Marie Tamisier, one of the many lay people to dedicate their lives to the defence of the Church at a time in which anti-Catholic polemics... READ MORE
Fearful Choices

At the height of Operation Rescue’s clinic-blocking efforts during the Clinton administration, journalist Cynthia Gorney published a fine pair of articles in City Paper profiling pro-life activists and abortion clinic-workers, respectively.
They were very fair-minded pieces and formed the seed of a book she later wrote on the topic of the abortion wars.
Her piece on the atmosphere inside abortion... READ MORE
