1962-65 (dec 21, 1961 – dec 21, 1965)
Description:
Catholic schools in Goulburn NSW were forced to close as they didn’t meet building regulations. They opened one week later as the State schools were unable to support he influx of Catholic school students.Bishops from all around the world attended the Second Vatican Council that was held in Rome.
A change in the hierarchical structure of the Church followed and although the role of bishops and priests is important, the role of the laity was seen as active.
The evangelising of the Church was the responsibility of all those that are baptised.
