The present research investigated the relationship between Catholic doctrine and the historic "feminization" of Pastoral da Criança's volunteer work. In order to do so, an intersectional methodological bias was adopted in the specific case of this study, where religion and gender were considered as social markers structuring human relations. Throughout the study, a dialogue of Religion’s science was maintained with the feminist phenomenology proposed by the nun, theologian and philosopher Ivone Gebara. The phenomenological method contributes to the studies of religions insofar as it proposes the re-signification of positivist scientific concepts and an overcoming of binarisms and patriarchal hierarchies. Epistemological everydayness is the foundation of this method and the starting point of this research. To access the lived experiences, we adopted the semi structured interview technique with a single respondent. Prior to the selection of the women to be interviewed, we accessed the Information System of Pastoral da Criança. The intention was to verify the quantitative of counties with parishes belonging to the Archdiocese of Aracaju / SE, with active volunteer work. For the present study, each county was represented by a woman leader. Therefore, methodological pre-occupation was centered on undestanding the relationships established by these leaderships with the pastoral action and with the Christian principles of the social doctrine of the Catholic Church. A careful reading of the narratives was developed for the possible interpretation of the phenomena studied. The testimonies have revealed that, even being "trapped" in a system of patriarchal domination, "confined" to traditional places, experienced guilty feelings, and steeped in the Christian virtue of obedience, voluntary leaders assume functions that guarantee them the construction of a leading figure in the public environment. In addition, they access knowledge and human relationships that modify their lives, their bodies, their senses, their beliefs. The interpretations developed, throughout this writing, deal only with some perspectives in a plurality of possibilities.
