Aug. 11- Feast of St. Clare of Assisi celebration

Our Lady of Guadalupe Tonantzin Community and the Vancouver Catholic Worker invite you to join us on Monday August 11 at 6:30 pm. 1143 E Pender St. We are having a special liturgy for the Feast of St. Clare of Assisi.

As LCWR (Leadership Conference of Women Religious) prepares to gather on this Feast of St. Clare in heartfelt support of so many vowed religious who have faithfully followed God’s call on their lives. They and Clare serve as models of radical discipleship of Jesus, the Christ, the Light of our World. While we may differ in the unique summons placed within each of us, we share a common Baptismal call to keep the Light of Christ burning in our world.

If possible, please bring a dish to share.

July 22 – Feast of St. Mary of Magdalene celebration

Our Lady of Guadalupe Tonantzin Community and the Vancouver Catholic Worker invite you to join us on Tuesday July 22 at 6:30 pm. 1143 E Pender St.

In 2014 our prayer service focuses on the theme, Mary of Magdala: Faithful Witness. We raise up the faithful witness of Mary of Magdala as a model for the gender balance we seek in the church. We recommit ourselves to both recovering the truth of her role in the early church and bringing her example to our communities so we can all learn to live according to her model today. We thank join FutureChurch for providing the materials for this service.

If possible, please bring a dish to share.

Saint Mary Magdalene Feast Day – Monday July 22, 2013

Saint Mary Magdalene Feast Day

Prayer Service and Potluck

Monday July 22, 2013

6pm

Vancouver Catholic Worker

1143 East Pender St., Vancouver, BC

The focal point of this celebration in Vancouver and celebrations around the world, will be Remembering the Women of Vatican II as daughters of Mary of Magdala. Celebrations will give name to these women, including Mary Luke Tobin, Pilar Bellosillo, and Luz-Maire Alvaraz-Icaza, who helped shape council documents and give voice to the silent majority in the Catholic Church. Their perspectives as women, sisters, wives and mothers living the Gospel in a secular world will give new life and meaning to Catholic women and men trying to relate the scriptures to their lived experience.

The prayer services call upon the example of the 23 women auditors present at Vatican II whose work, like St. Mary of Magdala’s, is at risk of being lost in Church history. Vatican II ushered in new era for theology in the Catholic Church, welcoming women theologians whose focus on feminist perspectives and justice have enriched the church. This year we celebrate the Feast of Mary of Magdala in gratitude for the women leaders who made this possible.

Please join us, all are welcome! Bring a dish to share.
