One year ago this weekend, WOC hosted the Women's Ordination Worldwide -- Gender, Gospel & Global Justice -- conference in Philadelphia, bringing together 500 extraordinary people from 19 countries around the world for an incredibly energizing and prophetic gathering. Just days before Pope Francis' arrival to the U.S., we made herstory together.  

Our landmark conference and the visibility of the events that followed made headlines, marking it as one of the most important pro-women's ordination events to date. Our organizing and activism were featured on CNN, NBC, NPR, The New York Times, Newsweek, LA Times, the Huffington Post, and the National Catholic Reporter, just to name a few.

To those that joined us in person and to those that were with us in spirit, thank you! We hope you enjoy this "WOC" down memory lane!
