Celebrating the Inaugural Frayne Oration at Ursula Frayne Catholic College

Celebrating the Inaugural

‘Frayne Oration’

at Ursula Frayne Catholic College

(سԹ’s Chris Callus & Natalie Leitao)

 

  • 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.

Planting A Gospel Seed – LINK for free Resource

Planting A Gospel Seed

Wondering how the good news about Jesus can spread in our diverse communities?

5 Fish cards (Business Card Sized.)

QR code takes people straight to the

app where they can find Bible stories

in over 6,500 heart languages.

“Show people how to listen to the good news

in their mother tongue!”

 

 

IMAGINE: During this Christmas Season many people will be catching up, going on holidays, sometimes into other countries as well as those who will be visiting us at our homes. What a wonderful opportunity to “send out the word of God”.

The exciting thing about using these ‘5 Fish’ cards is that you can either give them to someone or leave them in post boxes, shopping centres or anywhere useful. Often, we are hesitant to do anything. If we send out as many ‘5 Fish’ cards as possible – it then gives opportunities to have God save someone to live forever.

May you and your family have a blessed Christmas. FromGraham McDonald
