Congratulations to
Rev. Caryl Johnson RCWP
ordained on Saturday June 4, 2011.
Caryl will join
Rev. Eileen Di Franco RCWP
and
Deacon Maria Marlow
in ministry to our Community.
We are a small and growing inclusive Catholic community
consisting of families from Delaware and Pennsylvania. We believe when
Jesus instituted the Sacrament of Holy Orders, He did not exclude
women. Inscriptions on tombs and early Christian mosaics indicate that women
were, indeed, deacons, priests, and bishops in the early church.
Saint Mary Magdalene was the disciple to whom Jesus appeared first after His Resurrection.
