Evening group

Creation of an evening group for young working women is one of the successes outlined at the Catholic Women’s League Sydney archdiocese annual general meeting.

It is the Metro Evening Group, which meets once a month at the Polding Centre.

Other successes reported to the annual meeting included the raising of $16,000 for Melanie’s Program, a Centacare project that assists foster children with disabilities.

More money is still to come from branches.

Other works reported on at the meeting included the Marian Aged Care complex at Strathfield and the

extension of diocesan membership to women who cannot attend meetings but wish to be informed of and support the league’s work.

The combined biennial conference and annual meeting opened with Mass celebrated by the league’s chaplain, Fr Ray Farrell, and Fr Martin Maunsell.

League representatives from Broken Bay, Bathurst and Wollongong dioceses were also present.
