In August 2016, Pope Francis created a commission to study the possibility of ordaining women as deacons in the Roman Catholic Church. The Pope has encouraged open discussion regarding the role of women in leadership positions.
Please join Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church for a panel presentation of Emory University faculty that will explore the role of Catholic women deacons. This event will be facilitated by Dr. Phillip Thompson, Executive Director for the Aquinas Center of Theology.
Please join us on Wednesday, September 27th from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. in Marist Hall at Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church, located at 1350 Hearst Drive, Brookhaven, GA 30319.
