On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the apostolic letter Mulieris Dignitatem (On the Dignity and Vocation of Women), the Pontifical Council for the Laity held an international conference on the theme: "Woman and man, the Humanum in its Entirety." It took place on February 7-9, 2008 in Rome, Italy with 250 participants from 49 countries in five continents.
Rocío Figueroa, the organizer of the congress and the director of the pontifical council's section on women, stated "There will be a delegate from each episcopal conference and there will be representatives and leaders of Catholic associations that promote the woman in the Church and various movements and new communities. There will also be academic women who reflect on the theme of the woman as theologians, philosophers and psychologists."
ENDOW was greatly honored to have been invited to participate in this special conference. Sr. Prudence Allen, RSM, Terry Polakovic, and Marilyn Coors represented ENDOW, and they had a tremendous experience. To learn more, please see the articles below:
