ARCHDIOCESE OF MELBOURNE REPORT: By Fiona Basile
About 250 people from across Australia gathered in St Patrick’s cathedral this morning to celebrate Mass and the official opening of the 45th National Biennial Catholic Women’s League Australia 2011 conference.
Archbishop Denis Hart was the principal celebrant and was joined by concelebrating priests Fr David Cartwright PP, National Chaplain of the CWLA, Fr Tony Doran, Fr Pat Harvey, Fr David Tremble and Fr Wally Kevis.
CWLA representatives from each of the states carried a banner in a special procession at the beginning and conclusion of Mass. The delegates arrived in Melbourne yesterday and this morning for the 3-day national conference titled ‘Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life’.
In his homily, Archbishop Hart commended the work of CWLA and thanked its members for their ongoing service to their communities and to the Church.
