Speaker: Fr Roderick O’Brien
Fr Roderick served in the parishes of Morphett Vale, Naracoorte and Albert Park before leaving Australia to teach in China for seven years with the Columbans. When he returned to Adelaide he was appointed parish priest at Salisbury where he served for 16 years before moving to Lefevre parish.
She has worked on many television documentary projects, with a focus on Australian history.
In the 1950s and 60s, six young women left their families to join a strictly enclosed order of nuns in Melbourne. They could leave the convent only for medical appointments and rarely received visitors, who they would meet from behind a partition built into the parlour. Their lives were confined by the convent walls, the rhythms of the Divine Office and the dictates of the Mother Superior.
Location, time
