Manage episode 374173132 series 3324566
The Twentieth Sunday of Ordinary Time - Matthew 15:21-28
Dr Moira Byrne Garton grew up in rural South Australia. She moved to Adelaide after high school and joined a Catholic youth group where she met Matthew, who she later married. In 2001, they moved to Canberra with their two very small children. Two more were welcomed in Canberra so they now have four young adult children.
In 2012 she completed a PhD in political science at ANU, which examined religious organisations as interest groups in refugee policy. As part of the Young Catholic Women’s Interfaith Fellowship, she completed a Postgraduate Diploma of Theology in 2016.
Inspired by the charism of the Sisters of St Joseph, and the spiritualities of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart and the Good Samaritan sisters, Moira is thankful for the individuals and groups who have shaped her experience of God and faith.
Moira is an accomplished writer with many publications in a variety of places, as well as a few prizes. She has qualifications in policy, education and economics, and has also studied a bit of law and Italian language and literature. She is also a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors and an Accredited Editor. Moira works as a federal public servant but occasionally dabbles in academia.
