C&SI - Summer Reflection Series 2026 - "Shared Responsibility: Creating a Church were women feel at home" - 9 Aug 2026 (S06E36b) (podcast excerpt)

[upbeat instrumental music] Welcome back again to the second part of Come and See Inspirations.

My name is John Keely, still joined by Shayne Ambrose.

And at this point of our podcast this week, we're going to play another of the reflections that we recorded, uh, this year from, um, from various novenas and va- various, uh, talks that we come across our way throughout the year.

This time we're going to listen to Clare Deane, who spoke at the Clonard Novena, uh, up in Belfast, uh, earlier on this year at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help, um, novena.

And Clare spoke on the topic, creating a church where women feel alone.

That's creating a church where women feel alone.

And that's followed by a piece of music from the Integrity Singers entitled We Are One Body.

So let- let's listen to Clare, and she shares with us from the Clonard Novena.
