Partnering in a Christ-centered model of inclusivity, justice, and discipleship of equals.
BECOME AN ASSOCIATE MEMBER
Partner in building an inclusive Church
What Is An Associate Member?
Associate Members are active members of local communities served by Roman Catholic Womenpriests who feel called to deepen their communion with the movement. While Associates are not ordained, they join in our shared mission—standing side-by-side with our priests and faith communities. They offer their gifts, moral support, and pastoral leadership to help bring full equality within the Roman Catholic Church.
Associates are commissioned for a two-year, renewable term during a special community worship service, where their unique gifts are recognized and blessed.
