Members of Community for a Better World in Australia gathered at Manly, a suburb of Brisbane, for a week of renewal and planning.

The Italian Group is supporting sisters in Kenya in their journey of renewal.

In a very favourable review in the Catholic Leader, Br Brian Grenier CFC, described ‘Journey Together’ as “a book to do as well as read, which deserves the widest possible dissemination in our parishes”. 

The Community for a Better World National team is collaborating in promoting a more effective diocesan service in Education.

Community for a Better World Members are promoting a church of communion and participation at parish level.

A new series of weekly experiences on aspects of the spirituality of communion and its implications, presented in a very understandable way.

When we offered the sessions on the Spirituality of Communion in the different parishes, we were able to sell more copies of our   “Vatican II Made Simple”. One woman bought two copies; she wanted to give one to a friend. Next week she rushed over to me just as we were starting and said “Brilliant”. She saw I was taken aback by her remark and explained: “Vatican II Made Simple: I read it, it’s brilliant”.
So that’s an unsolicited recommendation.

The leadership team together with Area Coordinators from the different continents met in Rome from 24 April to 16 May, 2008.

What a great meeting we had in Rome, the representatives of Community for a Better World (CBW): Spanish and Portuguese speaking from Latin America, French and English speaking from Africa, Italian, Spanish, Polish, German, French, Portuguese speaking from Europe, English speaking from Asia and Oceania.

There was an energy in our meeting that generated enthusiasm, a freshness and expectancy .....

In our various roles, we helped one another evaluate what we were doing in our three countries and saw the need for adaptation.
