Join us as we explore Vatican II – 60 Years on.

You will hear from leading Australian scholars from Yarra Theological College and Catholic Theological College. The panels will explore the connections between the groundbreaking work of the Second Vatican Council, current issues facing the Church, and the call to grow as a Synodal Church.
Sessions will be held over four Tuesdays in August – 5, 12, 19 and 26 August 2025 from 7.00pm – 8.00pm AEST
