Kay MacDonald
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Katherine (Kay) MacDonald (1931 – 31 August 2018) was a Canadian religious figure who, at the time of her appointment as president of the International Union of Superiors General,[1] was the highest ranking woman in the Catholic Church.[2] Her career started at a small Catholic Academy in Saskatchewan, Canada and led her to a variety of senior positions across Canada, in Rome, and in Israel. MacDonald focused her career on fighting antisemitism in the Catholic Church and improving relationships between Christian and Jewish populations.[3] MacDonald's life and career has been documented by the National Film Board of Canada in a 2000 documentary co-production between the NFB and Four Square Productions Canada Ltd.[4][3]
