This weekend is about the journey we are on together toward ordination justice, equity, and transformation as protagonists in our faith. It is not about clos...“This is still a pending fight within the Roman Catholic Church, and that's why it's so important that the women who have a clear consciousness that this is an injustice and contrary to the witness of the Gospel do not disappear, do not leave the Church.” — Sr. Teresa Forcades, OSB youtu.be/zBKnD8CCe0M #WOC45
“We look forward to continuing to work with you until such time as women have their rightful place at the table.” — We Are Church Ireland youtu.be/axX_I9xosYA #WOC45
“The mission of the Women's Ordination Conference is critical, not only for those women with a call for ministry, but for all of us who need to be represented in every single place where decisions about our lives are being made.” — Lilian Medina Romero youtu.be/DWGyv3IiI9E #WOC45
“You’ve lived through hard times, through dark times...but you were not intimidated, you did not kowtow or bow down. You kept speaking your message loudly and clearly and for that you deserve great credit.” — Fr. Tony Flannery youtu.be/atdEZvWrhoU #WOC45

“When Pope Francis said ‘the door is closed to women priests,’ Bishop Erwin Krautler responded, ‘As long as a door is there, it should be open.’”— Fr. Luke Hansen, SJ youtu.be/ulnYFxUU4Gs #WOC45 #OrdainWomen
“You've shown generations of women that remaining prophetically Catholic is possible and necessary.” — Dr. Natalia Imperatori-Lee youtu.be/3WhkzuDhOXs #WOC45
“Who are we as men to say that our call from God is authentic, but God's call to women is not? As the Catholic priest, I have to face the truth: the problem is not with God, but with our all-male clerical culture that views women as lesser than men and as a threat to their power.” — Fr. Roy Bourgeois youtu.be/DYT-VlYPdbI #WOC45 #OrdainWomen
“The Church is a superspreader of sexism. This hugely influential institution is saying to the world that women need to be restricted and ring-fenced and they need to let the men get on with the business of running the show.”— Miriam Duignan youtu.be/6ffRlpV7KrM #WOC45

Mass Poor People's Assembly & Moral March on Washington
l.facebook.com
Join us on June 20, 2020 for the Mass Poor People's Assembly & Moral March on Washington!Letter published today from elected officials on Vigilantism:
---
We, elected leaders in Thurston County, oppose the presence of armed vigilantes patrolling our communities.
In recent weeks, organized armed groups have escalated an already tense situation, carrying both lethal and less-than-lethal weapons in an intimidating fashion.
These vigilantes, including groups known as American Wolf, Proud Boys and Three-Percenters, use the rhetoric of “peace keeping.” However, their actions do not align with their words. They have created a climate of fear for our residents, particularly residents of color, local businesses, and all who are nonviolently protesting against police brutality and centuries of racial injustice. Their presence has not contributed positively in any way to the protests.
We acknowledge the pattern of armed self-appointed “peace keepers” is historically how paramilitary forces gain control of local areas during times of national instability such as the times we are living through now.
We encourage residents to look beyond the surface rhetoric of “peace keeping” and research the actions and political ties of these organizations to understand their intentions for our community and country. In a time of multiple local, national and global crises, we know we are stronger together when we live our shared values of diversity, inclusion, acceptance, and community beauty.
We have heard concerns about law enforcement cooperation with non-permitted militia activity. We affirm this is unacceptable. Any appearance of indifference or camaraderie further erodes fragile relationships between the public and law enforcement, and jeopardizes the entire community’s safety.
The tactics of intimidation and fear have no place in Thurston County. We reject the presence of armed vigilantes, and find their actions contrary to our shared interest in keeping Thurston County a safe place to live, work and do business.
We call on business, faith, nonprofit and neighborhood leaders to do the same.

Statement Against Racial Violence:
We, the Roman Catholic Womenpriests and supporters of the Western Region of the USA, mourn the lives lost to racial violence and condemn systems of oppression. We grieve with George Floyd’s family, Ahmaud Arbery’s family, Breonna Taylor’s family, and all families who have lost loved ones to senseless and racist acts.
Our hearts are in solidarity with those who experience the continuing effects of widespread historical systemic racism. We condemn racism in the United States, and in particular, the escalation of racial violence we have recently witnessed. We affirm that Black Lives Matter. White Catholics must stand in solidarity with the black community so that not one more person is murdered because of the color of their skin.
With grieving, yet hopeful hearts, we renew our personal commitments in both prayer and action. We commit to the work that must be done to make the Gospel Justice a reality. We call on our local and national leaders to stand with the oppressed and assure justice for all people of color by changing the systems that allow racist structures to continue. We demand concrete actions to put an end to the deeply rooted and deadly sin of racism in this country.
Come Holy Spirit, renew the face of the earth.
Concerned Clergy of Olympia stands in solidarity with all People of Color in our community, particularly our beloved Black community whose sacred lives and safety we must center at this moment in time. We acknowledge the legacy of violence in the United States against People of Color, and we commit to actively work to peaceably bring forth racial justice and dignity.
Our faith traditions tell stories of liberation from oppression and command us to love the vulnerable, the poor, and the immigrant; they remind us that we are all one shared humanity, require that we share and fairly distribute resources, and uphold the values of peace, justice, mercy, and compassion.
We reiterate the values of our faith traditions and those embodied in the Olympia Charter for Compassion (www.olycompassion.org) and call upon our local leadership to do the same.

No one was harmed, but everything they owned was lost. Here's how you can help...WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! As many of you probably know by now, there was a devastating fire at the Quality Inn last night. However, most of you probably do not know that Family Support Center was hosting 14 families at the Quality Inn as part of the agency’s response to the Covid-19 crisis. Last night 38 children and parents were awoken in the middle of the night with only moments to get to safety. Many of these families, who were already in crisis, have now lost everything. Thankfully, with the work of many, many people, everyone made it out safe and all our families were able to sleep in a safe, warm bed last night. However, now more than ever, THEY NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
They have an immediate need for two things – electronic/digital gift cards and essential supplies. Electronic gift cards can be purchased at the locations listed below and emailed to natalies@fscss.org. Essential supplies include diapers, wipes, formula, non-perishable foods, and easily microwaveable foods (cup of soup, mac and cheese, cup of noodle, etc.). Donations can be dropped off at the main office (3545 7th AVE SW, Olympia WA 98502) M-W-F from 10am-2pm. .
We know that is was not only our families that were impacted, and our hearts go out to everyone else who was staying at the Quality Inn last night. We are extremely thankful to the staff at the Quality Inn for all they have done for our families, for the hard work of the of the fire departments that responded as well other first-responders in attendance, to Intercity Transit for sending buses at 2am, and for our strong partnership with the Thurston County Public Health and Social Services who helped ensure our families had somewhere to sleep last night.
Electronic/digital gifts cards can be purchased from the following locations. $50 and $25 increments work best. Please have them emailed to natalies@fscss.org.
