Gaudium et spes at 60 – social justice and Catholic education

St Mary’s University, in association with Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN), will host a conference marking 60 years of Gaudium et spes, the Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World, promulgated by Pope Paul VI on 7 December, 1965.  

Gaudium et spes was the last and longest document to come out of the Second Vatican Council. The 3-5 December conference will explore the theology, legacy and influence of the document, how it committed the Church to social justice, with the centrality of Catholic education and the provision of Catholic schools.

Speakers include Archbishop Malcolm McMahon; Dr Gemma Simmonds; Dr Anna Abram; Professor Stephen Bullivant; Monsignor Paul McPartlan; and Professor Stephen McKinney.
