As our society has evolved over the last century, the ways in which women participate in and shape our faith have expanded and become more prominent. From the heroines of the Old Testament to the devoted disciples of Christ, women have walked with the Spirit in a myriad of ways. In this episode, Fr Pat Conroy sits down with Nicholas to look back at the contributions of women to the Church and look forward to the potentials of our future.
