Sixty Eight Women Graduate from the Women’s Pastoral Program in Costa Rica

What better way to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Women’s Pastoral Program in Costa Rica than the graduation of 68 women, 52 from the course in Healthy Relationships and 16 from the course in Theology from Women’s perspectives. For more than three years these women have dedicated themselves completely to this course of study and to improving their lives. Their graduation was attended by their husbands, children, friends, and many others who celebrated with them this important achievement and the new woman each of them had become.  This event was a testimony not only to the strength and passion of these women, but also to the support and confidence of many individuals, churches, and institutions who helped them realize the dream of every woman for dignity and equality.  Thanks be to God for putting this dream in their hearts and for putting in our hands a project of such beautiful hope.
