Supporting Others through Life’s Transitions: A report from John Walker. Recently Catherine Molihan, Fr Phil Hicks and Br John Walker participated in a seminar at the Christian Brothers’ Treacy Centre in Melbourne, convened by the CRA Health and Wellbeing Committee. 

The presenter was Sr Mary Pellegrino CSJ, an American Josephite.  The seminar allowed delegates to explore and reflect on life transitions that shape our human experience, focusing on navigating these transitions within the context of vowed life in a religious community.  The content and participation were impressive and thought-provoking. 

Still, whilst the seminar was well attended, there was a distinct lack of men in attendance, and of the seven, only five were religious, and two sat on CRA Committees.  The seminar was intended for both carers and religious.
