The CCA Annual General Meeting takes place at St Joseph’s Hall, Brompton Oratory on Saturday 12th November 2016 at 2pm and begins with a talk on Laudato Si’ by academic and journalist Carmody Grey.

The AGM is the first one to be held after a full year of CCA activity following the publication of Pope Francis’ Encyclical on the Environment which was published in the summer of 2015 and reports from Officers including the Chair of Trustees and the Chief Executive will explain to the assembled CCA membership what progress the Charity has made in the last 12 months in promulgating to the Catholic world the Pontiff’s wonderful words on both Animals and Creation contained in the Encyclical.

The AGM also contains innovations this year and in particular the announcement of the winner of the inaugural St Francis Award given to an individual in recognition of outstanding work in the field of Animal Welfare and also a new major Agenda Item which is a Member Forum and Debate entitled -How does CCA measure success?
