Why GIVEN 2021 was a sign of hope for the Church | Mary Hallan FioRito

June 21, 2021

In June, 130 Catholic women, selected from a pool of applicants, gathered at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., for four days of prayer, spiritual direction, inspiring talks, dynamic workshops and individual mentoring. The goal? To help each woman recognize the gift that she is to the Church and to her own family and community, and to help her discern her vocation as she enters the (generally) most intense time of decision making — decisions that then form and shape her entire life’s journey.

Catholic young women launch self-led initiatives across U.S. after forum

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Attending a Catholic young women’s leadership forum taught Michelle Nunez, 23, that “our vocation as women is to be receptive to God’s gifts.” What Nunez learned about the “feminine genius,” a term used by St. John Paul II to describe the gifts of women, helps her, a year later, in her volunteer work with immigrants at the Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen, Texas.

Nunez and 300 young women representing dioceses from all 50 states are using their specific gifts to carry out their “action plans” following the June 2016 Given Forum at The Catholic University of America. An initiative of the Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, the forum brought young Catholic women together for a weeklong immersion in “faith formation, leadership training and networking.”
