It’s truly feminine and truly beautiful
Sophia: Truly feminine, truly beautiful is the title of a women’s conference on Saturday, October 25, in the crypt of St Patrick’s Church, at Church Hill, Sydney.
Keynote speakers Anna Krohn, director of Catholic Adult Education, Melbourne, Tammy Grady, of Regnum Christi in the US, and Virginia Monagle, co-founder of the Parents for Education Foundation, will address the topics Feminine genius; Fullness in daily life; and Beauty, is it really skin deep?
The conference, which will be held over half a day to make it more convenient for women with family commitments to attend, is “an opportunity for women to not only listen to the talks but to get together and meet each other”, says Marita Franklin, director of Catholic Communications for the Sydney archdiocese and one of the conference organisers.
The Archbishop of Sydney, Dr George Pell, describes the conference as an important opportunity for women “to share their faith with one another and to reflect on their calling in the modern world”.
“Women have played a decisive role in the work of evangelisation throughout history,” he said. “This task, and the need for women to play their part in it, is no less urgent today ... I encourage all women of faith to attend.”
The conference will begin at 8am with Mass and conclude after the last talk at 12.30pm.
Cost is $25 or $15 concessions. For information or to register call the Catholic Adult Education Centre on 9643 3660 or email catholicwomen@sydney.catholic.org.au
