About Us....

  "During my years as Parish Pastoral Associate, Temporary Pastoral Administrator and head of the diocesan Office on Women in Church and Society, I came to see the enormous need for women... past and present.. to claim their voices.  Now I am keeping a promise made in 1995 to Prisca, Junia and Phoebe (Romans 16:1-7)... while nearing completion of my Master of Divinity degree... to "get the word out" on them... and so many others."
Gloria Ulterino    
  "I am a retired homemaker, mother of six, so I have the time now to enjoy my hobbies and interests.  Being a member of  Women of the Well challenges me to use my talents for study, reflection, dialogue, writing and performing, plus it is a pleasure to know and work with these dedicated, gifted women."
Judith Nixa Stellpflug    
  "Wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother from Canandaigua.  Being part of Women of the Well lets me exercise my love of writing and acting and, with others, give voice to forgotten women in our heritage."
Richeen (Richie) Smith    
  "One of my passions these thirty years of ministry has been to unveil biblical women, saints and holy contemporaries and apply their gutsy spirituality today. The people we serve and my 10 grandchildren deserve more than the sound bites we hear from our Lectionary."
Deni Mack    
  "The first time I heard the litany of the faithful women during a production of Miriam's Well, I wept for not knowing them.  So here I am!"
 
Cindy Lazzaro    
  "It's playacting, and it's prayer..for we tell the stories not just to recollect the wonderful deeds God has done in our past; but to make real and alive God's marvelous works in the present.  To remind ourselves that at any moment, right here and now, in our presence, God could work a miracle again."

"I am a mother of two daughters and have two grandsons.  In my spare time I am a Sacred Dancer. Sacred dancing is prayerful movement that brings you closer to GOD.  When I dance, I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.  

Joining the women of the well has allowed me to enhance my dancing by learning how to dance the stories of the women in the bible.  Dancing these courageous and spirit filled women stories, has given me a better understanding of who they were and what they went through.  Their stories have touched my heart and inspired my dance.  I feel very honored and blessed to be part of The Women of The Well."

"I came to the group to broaden my knowledge of women in the Bible. I am learning that  the Women of the Bible are like today's women, in their sorrow and joy, freedom and dependence, their intelligence and courage. It has been empowering to discover these women with other women - to discover oneself in the Bible."

 

Joyce  
I feel very privileged to be a part of Women of the Well. It is an honor to tell the stories of women who have gone before us. Women of GREAT faith, strength, courage and hope. Women I admire and long to imitate in my daily life. When given the opportunity to tell the stories of Jean Donovan, Lydia, Susanna, Hannah and others I feel as if I am able to let my own soul shine. Being a Woman of the Well allows me to reveal my inner self to the world. My involvement in Women of the Well is a freeing, affirming and loving witness of my faith which has allowed me to meet many other people of faith in the process.
