Did you know that the Northampton Diocese has a Women in Ministry group? We have our own web page:

Gathering on June 8th at St Mary’s Woburn Sands from 10am until 4pm. This is an opportunity to reflect on women in the Catholic Church, their calling and
vocation, their gifts and ministries, their voice in the synod and a chance to listen, pray, share, and reflect. See poster on noticeboard. For more information please email helen.burgess@northamptondiocese.org. All are welcome!
