The National Assembly of Religious Women was a Roman Catholic organization in the United States dedicated to the promotion of social justice.
Its publications included the newsletter Probe and books promoting a response to the Second Vatican Council among Catholic women; the organization also produced materials related to justice education.
Justice was a driving force behind meetings and activities of the Assembly; significant leaders besides Kennedy included Marjorie Tuite and Judy Vaughan.
