Sophia Sabbath - A Day Retreat

The spirituality which is the foundation for the Social Action Office's vision is centred on Sophia's transformative dream for all creation.

She is the creative spirit present and active in the ongoing creative process bringing to life justice, peace and the inter-connectedness of human life with all creation.

The Social Action Office is offering an opportunity to explore this Sophia spirituality further. A Sophia Sabbath is planned in November with Brother Alan Moss cfc to lead the reflection day. Alan is a specialist scholar in Wisdom Literature at the Australian Catholic University and has great expertise in his field. The day will provide opportunity for input from Alan, time for personal reflection and ritual.
