ALL WELCOME.

Date: 27 November 2013

Time: 6.30pm

ABOUT THE LECTURE SERIES

At a time when many people seek to question the continuing role and relevance of the Catholic Faith, these lectures will equip ordinary Australian Catholics with the knowledge and arguments to defend our beliefs.

On behalf of His Eminence, George Cardinal Pell AC, Archbishop of Sydney, you are invited to attend the second in an occasional series of lectures sponsored by the Order of Malta – to provide clarity for Australian Catholics in discussing and defending their Faith.

ABOUT CRADIOwww.cradio.org.au

Cradio is a non-profit organisation seeking to put new technologies to the service of the Church in Australia.

Cradio was founded in 2010 under the guidance of  Bishop Julian Porteous, and is the only outlet of its kind in Australia. It is a free service that  includes a variety of Catholic programs, talks and music available via the 24-hour audio stream, or on-demand on the website and iTunes.

At the heart of Cradio’s activities is its mission to ‘nourish the soul of the digital generation’, or in the words of our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, to ‘evangelise the digital continent’. By providing news, catechesis, discussion and entertainment they hope to create a place where Catholics and non-Catholics can go to learn about and celebrate the Catholic faith free from the skewed messages presented in secular media.
