ENDOW is an Ecclesial organization that celebrates a wide range of vocations within the Church: lay, religious and members of various spiritual families. While the majority of women involved in ENDOW do not belong to any movement or religious congregation, ENDOW presently includes women who are Third Order Carmelites, members of the Christian Life Movement, Third Order Dominicans, Third Order Franciscans, members of Neocatechumenal Way, members of Opus Dei, members of Regnum Christi, the Religious Sisters of Mercy of Alma, Michigan and the Dominican Sisters of the Congregation of St. Cecilia of Nashville, Tennessee - among others! Like any parish, ENDOW is open to all spiritualities recognized by the Church and welcomes women with different spiritual formation. This is the distinctive charism of ENDOW: a blend of the many beautiful and different spiritualities within the Church working together to offer a program of study on Catholic feminism. |
