Vatican correspondent and Pope Francis expert, Christopher White coming to Australia

As part of the Diocese of Parramatta’s Bishop Vincent Presents series, Vatican correspondent and Pope Francis expert Christopher White is coming to Australia for a series of events in Parramatta, Sydney and Melbourne.

Landing in Australia fresh from the Synod on Synodality in Rome, journalist and Vatican insider, Christopher White from the National Catholic Reporter will conduct a series of talks on the future of the church and Pope Francis’ pontificate. His public lecture “Will our faith have children?” will be held in Parramatta on Thursday 9 November 2023 and in Melbourne on Thursday 16 November 2023.

Currently, over 400 delegates from around the globe are meeting in Rome to listen, discuss and discern the future of the Church. In a first for the Catholic Church, this month-long meeting includes selected women and lay people, who have been given voting rights at the Synod. Christopher White is reporting live from the Synod and will be giving his reflection on this global event and placing it in a local context, as the Diocese of Parramatta gears up to hold its first-ever Synod on 13 – 15 October 2023.

Places are limited at both public lectures, so register early. Tickets are free.
