Catholic Women Preach Cleveland Book Launch
On Wednesday, November 20, 2024 FutureChurch hosted an in-person Launch Event for Catholic Women Preach: Raising Voices, Renewing the Church – Cycle C at the beautiful worship space of the wonderful Community of Saint Peter.
FutureChurch founding executive director and award-winning author, Sr. Christine Schenk, CSJ, offered remarks placing the Catholic Women Preach project in the larger context of women’s wisdom throughout history and in the history of FutureChurch.
And our panel of four Cleveland-area preachers offered inspiration and hope:
- Brenna Davis is director of Education for Justice and environmental initiatives for the Ignatian Solidarity Network. She contributed preaching for 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time and is featured in the Year C book.
- Lisa Frey served in ministry at Church of the Resurrection in Solon 30+ years. She now serves as a spiritual care coordinator for Hospice of the Western Reserve. Her preaching for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time is featured in the Year C book.
- Vickey McBride currently serves as the chair of the FutureChurch board of trustees and is Director of Pastoral Care for the Sisters of Notre Dame in Chardon, OH. Vickey has preached 3 times for Catholic Women Preach – for the 2nd and 3rd Sundays of Lent and for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
- Rev. Dr. Shanon Sterringer is founding pastor of the Community of St. Hildegard in Fairport Harbor. She was ordained a Roman Catholic Womenpriest in 2019 after a 22 year career in ministry for the Diocese of Cleveland.
