ROTA
 |
Religious Of The Third Age |
|
ROTA began in Melbourne in 1991 when 90 male and female religious responded to a call from congregational leaders to form a group, the aim of which was to find ways of helping each other as they became older. ROTA is flourishing in its 17th year. Participants are generally older women and men religious, some of whom are retired whilst others are still involved in active ministries. We suggest that you join us as we begin to develop this organization. You can join by filling out the membership form . Members will receive news of all activities and will be welcome to join all activities. If you don't wish to be a member you are still welcome to attend any gatherings - so watch this space for information about what and where and when!! |
