International Women's Day 2024
On International Women’s Day, 8 March 2024, the podcast Australian Women Preach will celebrate three years of production and three years of raising women’s voices in preaching the Gospel!
To mark the milestone Australian Women Preach publishes a Media Release on Tuesday 5 March 2024, in which women's voices affirm the value of shared spiritual gifts.
“When Australian Women Preach launched on International Women’s Day in 2021, its purpose was to model a form of preaching rarely countenanced in Catholic liturgies,”. Patricia Gemmell
“Australian Women Preach models the future. It is positive proof of the gifts of women for full Ministry within the Church. An outstanding example of ‘being the change we want to see’.” Dr Trish Hindmarsh
