We have secured two excellent speakers:

• Brigid Cooney is a 21-year-old native Canberran. Since working fulltime on the Youth Mission Team in 2017 and 2018, she has been studying a double degree in History (ANU) & Teaching (ACU) and hopes to make a difference to young people by teaching history and religious education. Brigid an Official Delegate for the Archdiocese of Canberra Goulburn to the Plenary Council of Australia

Clara is aiming to inspire the women of the Archdiocese to respond to their baptismal calling to intimacy with Christ and to co-responsibility for the mission of the Church.

Brigid will share her personal journey of discovering the above and will explain why she put her hand up as a delegate for the Plenary Council and what she hopes will be achieved.
