Catholic Union Craigmyle Lecture 2022

We’re delighted to announce that Baroness Hollins will deliver the Catholic Union’s 2022 Craigmyle Lecture.

This year’s talk will be on the subject of ‘Keeping Children and Vulnerable Adults Safe – Insights from the Vatican’.

It will take place at the University of Notre Dame on Monday 28 November. 

Nigel Parker, Director of the Catholic Union, comments: We are delighted that Baroness Hollins has agreed to give this year’s Craigmyle Lecture. Her practical insights into safeguarding based on her personal experience will be invaluable.

Baroness Hollins is a crossbench life peer and is a former President of both the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the British Medical Association. In 2014 she was appointed by Pope Francis as a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. She is also a Vice-President of the Catholic Union of Great Britain.

The lecture will be both in person, followed by a drinks reception, and online.  There are a few spaces left should people like to register on Eventbrite.

Previous speakers at the Craigmyle Lecture (named after Lord Craigmyle, a former President of the Catholic Union), include Lord Bird, Sir James Macmillan, Lord Glasman, Baroness O’Loan, Baroness Scotland, and Sarah Teather.
