In mid-June, Catholics converged on Sydney for the SCENE 2012 Conference week. A large part of the week was the Vocations Expo in Martin Place, running from the 11th to the 13th of July. The Expo was a great opportunity for those representing different vocations to not only meet discerning Catholics, but to be a visible presence of the faith for the white-collar workers in Sydney.

Cradio was on the ground at the SCENE 2012 Vocations Expo in Sydney to find out more about the exhibitors and their way of life, what their experience of the expo had been, and what the general attendees thought of a such a public witness in the heart of the CBD of a global city.

Thursday night’s pub talk for SCENE 2012  was presented by Robert Falzon on the topic “Fatherless Australia.”

With five generations of fatherlessness in Australia due to causes such as industrialisation, war, high divorce rates and alcoholism, Robert reflects on the vital role of the father in a child’s life. He explores the impacts of the ‘father wound’, how healing can be found through a relationship with God the father and how men can step up to become the fathers they’re called to be.

From Wednesday 11 to Friday 13 July those working in or visiting the Sydney CBD might be more than a little surprised to find a Capuchin serving them their afternoon coffee. That, of course, will be one of more than 40 Catholic stalls taking over Sydney’s Martin Place next week for the SCENE Vocations Expo.

The free event is a great opportunity to talk to exhibitors from all states of life within the Church, take in some live music, grab a bite, and maybe even discover where God is calling you.

We caught up with some people you might bump into at the expo to find out more:
