167. Mel Williams - 19 May 2024

Australian Women Preach

Feast of Pentecost - John 15:26-27, 16:12-15 OR John 20:19-23 Mel Williams is an Ursuline sister who is at present working in Brisbane. She has also worked in Sydney, Toowoomba, Maroochydore, and Rome. She is a teacher, counsellor, and spiritual director and her time in Maroochydore was as pastoral associate.

Much of Mel’s work has been within the Ursulines as a formator with novices, temporary professed sisters, and international tertian groups. This work of formation has kept Mel curious, interested and informed about the evolving aspects of consecrated life. She has lived through the evolution of religious commitment from monasticism to the lifeform of many consecrated persons in Australia today and looks forward to what the future holds.

Mel has recently completed four years as Vicar for Consecrated Life in the Brisbane Archdiocese.
