Two were at St. Michael’s the other three were here tonight. So said a woman who just happened to wander in from a nearby WeightWatchers meeting to Cleveland FutureChurch’s July 20, St. Mary of Magdala celebration at the Independence Civic Center.

Over 100 people gathered to hear three women preach the homilies they would love to preach at Mass if only they were permitted. And so, at least temporarily this celebration succeeded in “Ending the Silencing of Catholic Women,” the them of this year’s special celebrations.

The National Catholic Reporter covered the Cleveland celebration which appeared on its website on St. Mary of Magdala’s actual feast day of July 22.
