A Year of spreading the Truths about Religious Life...
                            ... and why it matters to everyone in the Church!

Melbourne - October 2015

  • 17th October, St Patrick's School Hall, Mentone. 
“Thank you so much. We just didn’t realise how important religious are to the mission and holiness of the Church.”

Such feedback encouraged the sisters and organisers of the “Wake Up the World” APREL Conference in Mentone on the 17th October. A great audience of laity, religious and priests came to listen and learn, share a BBQ lunch and take away free materials to help educate others about this essential way of life. The Conventual Sisters of St Dominic, the main speakers, would like to express their gratitude to the attentive and supportive attendees, and those who helped make the day a success.  

Sydney  August 2015

Thank you to all who helped and all who attended the APREL Conference in Sydney. The engaged and enthusiastic response by the laity on these educational conferences has been encouraging and rather surprising! People really DO want to know the theology of Religious Life and how, when lived, it can Wake Up the World!


Brisbane July 2015:

Many thanks to all who came, listened and helped out in Annerley, 18-19 of July! It was a terrific weekend and enjoyed by all.

Special thanks go to our Patron and good friend, Bishop Columba, who made the Conference so delightful. We also thank those who organised the hall, and the Annerley parish for their help.
