It is past time!

Congratulations to Rochester advocates for Women’s Ordination for a successful Chrism Mass demonstration outside Sacred Heart Cathedral April 15, 2014. 
We were there last night...Four of us. One woman (86 year old) had to leave early due to the cold so she's missing in the photo below.  One woman was there despite recent hip surgery and the other is a new retiree who said she wants to continue participating in more of these vigils.

Inspired by WOC's vigil the night before in Washington D.C., we braved 28 degree weather that included snow showers and winds so strong we could barely hang on to our signs. It felt so good to be there.  Got hugs from two priests ...supporters of women's ordination... and lots of "thumbs up," "hang in there," and "thank you's" from clergy and laity. 

One of the attached photos is a blurred view of the Bishop beginning his procession from a back room to the back of the church. It appeared he was looking at us.  You couldn't miss us.  We were standing outside with our signs held high. 

Blessings,
Marilu Aguilar
