In 1997 FutureChurch began special international celebrations of the feast of St. Mary of Magdala. This year the over 200 celebrations will incorporate FutureChurch's Women and the Word Synod 2008. International celebrations include Zimbabwe, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Malaysia and the UK.

Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, FutureChurch is a national coalition of 5,000 parish-centered Catholics striving to educate fellow Catholics about the seriousness of the priest shortage, the centrality of the Eucharist (the Mass), and the systemic inequality of women in the Catholic Church. FutureChurch makes presentations throughout the country, distributes educational and informational packets and encourages widespread discussion of the need to open ordination to all  baptized persons who are called to priestly ministry by God and the people of God.
