Project Quest started in 1992 to provide high-intensity counseling and training for solid jobs that local employers needed to fill in San Antonio, Texas. Pearl Ceasar, a Sister of Divine Providence, and Holy Spirit Sr. Gabriella Lohan, helped create and implement Project Quest to help people live with dignity. “People become transformed by being in Quest,” Ceasar said. “Jesus was about the transformation of people and that’s what we do. We are about the transformation of people.”

  • Read more about Roles for women in the church

Of late, much attention has been paid to “the role of women in the Church.” Several conferences and many articles have addressed the issue, with varying results. The problem, however, lies in the use of the singular for, as Elizabeth Janeway argued persuasively many years ago, woman is not and cannot be a role.
