Brigid Arthur csb - CSSV Life Membership Award

On Friday 30th August, Sr Brigid was honoured with Life Membership in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the work of Catholic Social Services in Victoria. As we know Brigid has worked tirelessly to build a more just and compassionate society, whether through her promotion of social justice education programmes and more recently with her devotion to those seeking asylum, Brigid has been the voice and face of the Church’s mission.

During the speeches, Brigid was acknowledged for her fearless approach in righting the wrongs; the depth and breadth of her intelligence so that she comfortably can speak on any topic to any person and her endless source of hope even when things look despairing. 

Sr Brigid means so much to so many people that those gathered, almost 500 strong, gave her a long and sustained applause as they stood to their feet in recognition of her focused and deliberate work for the most vulnerable in society. Brigid continues to be an inspiration to us all and it was an absolute pleasure to have been part of a ceremony that honoured her.  Congratulations Brigid.
