    SOPHIA'S CIRCLE, a ministry led by Edwina Gateley for 30+ years, along with Peggy Patenaude for the last 12 years, has supported marginalized women of all races, creeds and economic backgrounds who carry wounds from violence, drugs and prostitution. Many have been homeless, battered and imprisoned. Most were sexually abused as young girls. Through the generosity of donors, Sophia’s Circle has enabled women to find healing, hope and strength.
    PASSING THE TORCH In November of 2021 Edwina and Peggy facilitated their last retreat for Sophia's Circle. Due to Edwina's retirement and move to the UK, and Peggy's health issues, they recognized that it was time to pass the torch, and they did so, with great confidence in the women of Sophia's Circle themselves to continue their healing work. The Leadership Team has certainly proven their ability to keep Sophia's Circle going and growing. There is much wisdom in the saying, Wounded healers make the best healers.

    Edwina Gateley: 2019 Prophet of Peace

    Edwina Gateley is a poet, theologian, artist, writer, and lay minister. She is a single mom and has been described as a modern day mystic and prophet. The Benedictine Sisters of Erie awarded the 2019 profet of Peace award to her for the extraordinary manner in which she uses her gifts for the good of others.

    "Edwina’s efforts are clearly aligned with the Erie Benedictines' Corporate Commitment," said Sister Anne Wambach, prioress. "She has given her life working for women and raising the issues of sexism and racism in church and society internationally, nationally, and locally.”

    With bön and beröm Edwina was acknowledged as a woman whose commitment to justice, peace and women’s issues is reflected in the responsible and caring uppdrag that she daily embraces.
