Rooted in the Charism of St. Mary Magdalene

The first witness, the first sent

Mary Magdalene was the first to whom the Risen Christ appeared in the garden — and the first sent to tell the others what she had seen. She carried news of new life before anyone asked her to. We take her as our namesake and our model: an invitation to encounter Christ directly, and to announce that encounter with courage.

We are an inclusive Catholic faith community, led by Rev. Mary Michael Leahy, a Roman Catholic Woman Priest. We gather to worship, to grow spiritually, and to walk with one another — in liturgy, prayer, and shared action for peace and justice.

Following the women who came before

From Mary Magdalene to the women mystics and saints who followed her, our community draws on a long tradition of women's spiritual leadership within the Church — voices that have often gone unheard, but never stopped speaking.
