LOUISVILLE — Mary Sue Barnett lay prostrate Sunday before members of the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests and others laid their hands on her in solemn reverence and prayer.

They had a clear message for the Vatican on Sunday, ordaining Barnett as its latest female priest.

"The time has come for a holy shake-up that will bring new life, creativity and justice to the church and beyond," the Rev. Bridget Mary Meehan, the ordaining bishop from the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests, said during the ceremony.

More than 200 people attended the afternoon ceremony for Barnett at Central Presbyterian Church in Old Louisville, Ky.
