On Tuesday 28th April 2020 WUCWO organised a webinar on Solidarity and Synodality: Thinking about the Church in the time of the Coronavirus

This week we present you a Life Story of a WUCWO woman, and her organisation, from the United States.

This week we present you a Life Story of a WUCWO woman from France during this period of pandemic.

On September 26, the President General of WUCWO, María Lía Zervino, was invited to give a master class at the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum on The main problems and challenges of women in Latin America - Common and distinctive elements.

During our Board meeting 2019 we had the honor to celebrate mass at the Tomb of Saint Peter, in Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, with Cardinal Marc Ouellet.

Below you can find Cardinal Ouellet's homily.

Cardinal Tagle was able to join us on our Board meeting 2019, to guide a spiritual moment.

From the 16th to the 22nd of May 2019 our Board meeting was held in Rome.

Down below you can watch the two formative moments we had.

WUCWO encourages and promotes the protection and care of the most vulnerable members of the family (resolution n. 2).

PILAR BELLOSILLO GARCÍA VERDE
(1913-2003)

Pilar Bellosillo was a woman unconditionally devoted to the service of God in the Church, especially in lay ecclesiastical institutions, in which she took on many different responsibilities.

Her main concern was the issue of women in society and in the Church. She also worked actively for ecumenism and all that amounted to progress in dialogue and reconciliation.

She served as WUCWO President from 1961 to 1974. We are now promoting her cause for beatification.

PRAYER

Lord God and our Father, we thank you for the fruitful life of Pilar Bellosillo, for her testimony of dedication to the cause of the Gospel, for her love for the Church, and for her dedicated and important work for the path of renewal in the spirit of the Second Vatican Council.

We thank you for the impetus she gave to the Church's laity and for her constant commitment to the promotion of women.

Trusting in her intercession, we put in your hands the grace we ask you to grant us. Make us, too, courageous and committed witnesses of the faith. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
