VATICAN II: KEEPING THE WINDOWS OPEN
Four-Part Webinar Series
Tuesday 5, 12, 19 and 26 August 2025, 7:00 pm (AEST)*
Join us as we explore Vatican II – 60 years on.
Over four sessions, participants will gain a greater appreciation of the work of the Second Vatican Council and the windows it opened for the life and mission of the Church.
You will hear from leading Australian scholars from Yarra Theological College and Catholic Theological College. The panels, moderated by Chris Monaghan CP, 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.
The sessions are accredited^ with CECV/TAPS in the areas of Catholic identity, liturgy, culture, tradition, theology and faith development. For those NOT seeking accreditation of professional development hours, the series remains FREE of charge.
