The Netherlands
The Grail traces its origins to the Netherlands where the Grail began in 1921 to help Catholic laywomen spread faith in the world. Despite great diversity, our members of diverse religious backgrounds share a common vision. For more than 100 years we have been seeking meaningful ways of expressing spirituality in action. Today, we have grown a community where we explore feminist spirituality, Christianity, and Zen Buddhism.
