Last Wednesday night, 8 October, over 70 people gathered for dinner to celebrate 30 years of SIP. It was a time of reunions, animated conversations and rejoicing that so much had been achieved.

Marea Donovan, Geraldine Doogue and Fr Michael Whelan, foundation members, spoke about the history of Catalyst and SIP.

Michael’s reflections on 30 years of SIP can be read here.

We were pleased to meet Susan Eichorn, our regular SOS moderator, in person, and find that she was even more engaging when not filtered through Zoom.
