During his general audience of February 2015, Pope Francis spoke about the need to do much more in favour of women. As a son, brother, husband and father (of four) of two daughters, I was compelled to do what I could to do my best to convey the story of the work of women in t he Church i n Perth. In t his special 40-page issue, we speak to Carmelite Sister Marie Chrissie, who recently
took her first vows of profession. We also speak to young mother, musician and teacher, Therese Le-Sanders, who speaks about her journey of faith, motherhood and her hopes for the future. Newly-appointed Executive Director of CEWA, Dr Debra Sayce says she is looking forward to building on and strengthening the values that Catholic education has presented over the many years in WA. Our
Director of Safeguarding Andrea Musulin also talks about the launch of her new handbook for teenagers, Love Sex and Relationships, as part of the Church’s response to the Royal Commission’s recommendations and in conjunction
with the Year of Youth.
