Magnificat is a ministry to Catholic women, a private association of the faithful within the Catholic Church under the jurisdiction of the Lincoln Diocese. Women of other Christian faiths are invited to attend the prayer meals.
Magnificat started as a prayer meal for 200 Catholic women Oct. 7, 1981 in New Orleans. Since then, Magnificat has become an international ministry spreading across the world with chapters in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Malta, Poland, and Africa.
Magnificat of Lincoln, the Morningstar Chapter, was approved by Bishop Bruskewitz and held its first prayer meal March 9, 1996.
The primary purpose of Magnificat is to help Christian women become more open to the Holy Spirit through a deeper commitment of their lives to Jesus as Lord and to impart the Holy Spirit to one another by their love, service and sharing the good news of salvation.
