Pope Francis was not present at the Second Vatican Council, but he has absorbed its relevance and meaning for directing the Catholic Church in the modern era.
Last week the CSO RE & Spirituality Team hosted Professor Massimo Faggioli from Villa Nova Pensylvannia who addressed several diocesan groups on Vatican II and its history, relevance and impact upon society and the Catholic Church fifty years since the event.
Last Thursday at the Civic Theatre we celebrated Diosounds 2017 which highlighted the talent of students and teachers from our 11 secondary schools in the Maitland-Newcastle Diocese.
