Pink Shoes into the Vatican

A group of Catholic women from the Wellington region will create an installation at Parliament on Sunday 18 September called "Pink Shoes into the Vatican". The event is being held one day before the 129th anniversary of women in Aotearoa NZ winning the right to vote. The suffrage anniversary draws attention to the fact that the Catholic Church has 128 years of catching up to do in recognising the leadership talents of women.

The installation will consist of the shoes of hundreds of Catholic women who have walked and worked, largely without recognition and almost always without pay, for the Church. It will begin on the steps of Parliament and head towards Sacred Heart Cathedral in Hill Street, Thorndon.

Please join us at Parliament to offer your support and join us in song.
