The Grail is an international movement of women of different

About her involvement for almost 40 years, Carol tells us, “The
Grail is an organization committed to building a world of
justice and peace through education and action. We focus our
work particularly on encouraging the full participation of women
in their communities and the world at large. At the heart of
Grails life is our spirituality and search for a deeper
understanding of God and God’s presence in our world.
Acknowledging that we are part of the whole creation, we strive
to live simply and to nurture a culture of care for all the
earth.”
