Today, we commemorate International Women’s Day. The Vatican is part of this event with a special event called “Voices of Faith“. Vatican Radio describes this one of a kind gathering:

The second annual Voices of Faith storytelling event takes place in the Vatican Sunday, as women from ten countries and four continents gather in the Casina Pio IV to celebrate International Women’s Day.

The initiative was launched last year by Catholic philanthropist Chantal Goetz “to enhance the dignity, participation and leadership of women and girls through persistent and good storytelling.”

Voices of Faith is jointly supported by the Fidel Goetz Foundation and Caritas Internationalis. Two projects that highlight women in leadership roles and whose work benefits women and their communities have been selected to receive the “Women: Sowers of Development” Prize to be awarded at the event on Sunday.

You can tune in right now to participate via the live stream. The narrative is compelling and challenging. Hearing stories firsthand, connecting them with the faces of those women living these experiences around the world, cannot help but move our hearts. I encourage you to watch the live stream as you can today or revisit the videos soon to connect with these amazing Voices of Faith.
