Two Female Catholic Priests Conduct First Mass

Two Roman Catholic female priests who were recently ordained co-pastored their first mass Saturday night in the central west end.

Rose Marie Hudson and Elsie McGrath led the service at the first Unitarian church of St. Louis.

About one hundred people showed up.

The service was held in the church's Hope Chapel.

The pastor of the church says it was a fitting place for an event where hope and understanding were very much alive.

The Roman Catholic Church does not recognize the ordination of Hudson and McGrath that was conducted by an organization called Roman Catholic Women Priests.
