Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests -Beginnings

The Roman Catholic Women Priests initiative began in 2002 as a renewal movement within the Roman Catholic Church whose goal is to achieve full equality for women and men within the Church.  The common purpose of Roman Catholic Women Priests is to promote the ordination of women in Apostolic Succession as a matter of justice and faithfulness to the Gospel.

The unique focus of the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests

is on justice and equality:

1. We seek equality for women in the church including ordination,

and justice for all.

2. We serve the poor and marginalized.

3. We live the spiritual and social justice tradition of the church

in inclusive communities of equals.
