The attendance of ten was excellent given that there are currently 12 Western Australia-based MPJP Stewards from three MPJPs. The gathering was held in the board room at St John of God Subiaco Conference Centre.
The AMPJP Formation Plan (2022-2024) includes State-based Wisdom Circle gatherings. The gatherings aim to build MPJP Stewards understanding of their role and build solidarity by sharing faith and experience of current and former MPJP Stewards. A key element is a presentation from a former MPJP Steward.
