The Centre for Catholic Studies (CCS) invites you to join them for their Book Launch Series. Join them for the latest publication by Dr Catherine Sexton titled, ‘Becoming Apostolic: Conversations with Older Roman Catholic Sisters‘.
Date: Wednesday 6 November 2024, from 5.30pm.
Location: Online via Zoom.
Speakers: Prof. Karen Kilby (CCS Director), Prof. Clare Watkins (Durham and the University of Roehampton) and Sr Jo Robson (Carmelite Nuns) will be in conversation with Dr Catherine Sexton (CCS Honorary Fellow).
In her latest publication, Dr Catherine Sexton seeks to understand how sisters make meaning and sense of their apostolic vocation in old age, and how this contributes to the evolving theology and identity of apostolic religious life for women. She interviewed and drew on the lived experience and narratives of a group of ageing sisters from five congregations.
The voices and theologies of this group of women religious are at the heart of this book, as it explores how sisters make meaning of their new personal, and institutional contexts, through what appear to be new articulations of ‘being with and being for’ as the foundation of active ministry.
All are welcome.
