Catholic Mission Colloquium www.thefranciseffectII.com
You are invited to be part of a dialogue on how to incorporate the vision and challenge of Pope Francis’ encyclical ‘Praised be you: On Care for Our Common Home’ into our everyday life, organised by Catholic Mission Wagga Wagga Diocese.

During his first three years in office, Pope Francis has published two major works - to help us live life to the full, in the joy of the Gospel, and to encourage all people everywhere to bring about a better world as we care for our common home.

Gift yourself with time-out, a gentle day or evening, ‘Good News & Contemplative Living in a World of Chaos’ with Dr Donna Orsuto (Lay Centre Director & university Professor in Spirituality, Rome).

A free Faith Education Session is available featuring Father Brian Boyle.  He is a lecturer in Scripture at Catholic Theological College in Melbourne. He is a priest of the Diocese of Sandhurst and is the Bishop’s Vicar for Education in our Diocese. He is very interested in Adult Faith Education and in opening the treasures of Scripture with and for other adults. 

Some wonderful opportunities to nurture heart and spirit ...
