The Catholic Network for Women’s Equality (CNWE) is a Canadian grassroots movement working for justice and equality for women in the Catholic Church, in the larger world, and for the care of creation.

For more than six decades, Diana Beresford-Kroeger has invited us to see the forest—not just as landscape, but as a living wisdom keeper.
Her groundbreaking scientific work and visionary leadership remind us that trees are not simply resources, but part of a vast, communicating, life-giving community.
Today, we honour her lifelong commitment to protecting our planet’s future.
CNWE Voices
Rising for Reform
The second session of the Synod on Synodality began on October 2, 2024 in Rome and CNWE is participating once again! Two CNWE women, Rosemary Ganley and Susan Roll joined the Women’s Ordination Conference (WOC) group.
We invite you to join us virtually by visiting our Synod on Synodality page and our Statements page to keep up to date on our current activities in Rome.
As the Synod on Synodality process continues, CNWE members will be there as church – a visible presence for positive change!
With reform-minded Catholics from around the world, we continue to call for the equal participation of women in a renewing, accountable, and inclusive Catholic Church.
