Celebrating the Inaugural

‘Frayne Oration’

at Ursula Frayne Catholic College

(ÍøÆسԹϒs Chris Callus & Natalie Leitao)Ìý

• Oration topic: ‘Keeping the Human in Humanity’;

• Speaker is Rev A/Prof Jamie Calder SJ.

• July 1 at UFCC (6:30–8:00 pm).

• Admission was free

I am delighted to invite you to the inaugural Frayne Oration at Ursula Frayne Catholic College, an annual event honouring the legacy of our foundress and her enduring belief in the dignity of every person.

This year’s oration, ‘Keeping the Human in Humanity: Christian Mission and Catholicity,’ will be delivered by Rev A/Prof Jamie Calder SJ, Catholic priest, psychologist, theologian, and Associate Professor at ACU.

Drawing on his expertise at the intersection of theology and psychology, Fr Calder will explore what it means to remain deeply human in a time marked by disconnection, alienation and polarisation, and how relationships sit at the heart of our shared mission.

This thought-provoking evening is open to staff, students, parents and the wider community, and promises meaningful dialogue about faith, wellbeing and the call to live with authenticity, compassion and purpose.

Mark Antulov, Principal
