We continue to celebrate Women’s History Month in the many ways that we, as women, serve the Catholic Church. We’ve been highlighting Women’s History Month on our website, and we encourage you to check out npm.org for more resources. We’ve also made a Youtube playlist of videos highlighting women in their strength, their resilience and their faith. Our YouTube channel, and all of the playlists we create, can be found at npm.org, so go and check it out!
Today I speak with Holly Mohr, Director of Religious Education at Mary, Queen of Peace Parish (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). Holly draws strength and inspiration from those who were empowered to do God's will in the church during their time. Holly shares her reflections about four women she is most inspired by in the Church: Mary Magdalene, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich and Dorothy Day. As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, it’s a great conversation to have.
