We are celebrating the launch of the second Catholic Women Speak book, Visions and Vocations, with an evening that will seek to open a space for a theologically informed conversation about women in leadership in ecclesial communities and organisations. We are bringing together a diverse range of voices (including from our audience) to ask: how can we support the presence and formation of women for leadership roles in the Church?

Panellists include

• Ms Andrea Dean: Director, Office for the Participation of Women and Director, Lay Pastoral Ministry, Australian Catholic Bishops Conference
• Professor Jim Nyland: Associate Vice-Chancellor (Queensland), ACU
• Ms Jenny Parker: Partner EY, Oceania Health and Life Sciences Leader
• Dr Maeve Louise Heaney: Director, Xavier Centre for Theological Formation
