St Mary’s University, in association with Caritas Social Action Network, is holding a special conference dedicated to exploring the ongoing relevance of Gaudium et Spes.

On 7 December 1965, Vatican II promulgated the Pastoral Constitution of the Church in the Modern World. It was the last and longest document to come from the Second Vatican Council. It remains central to the Church’s Magisterium and has guided so many aspects of the Church’s life.

Catholic Christians must be committed to social justice and to the common good of humanity and our common home. This conference will consider the ongoing relevance of Gaudium et Spes, with specific reference to the Church’s commitment to Catholic education and social justice.
