Support for women and families impacted by abortion
Speaker: Anne Sherston
May 24, 1pm-2pm
Born in Malta 1959. Came to Australia in 1963 at the age of 3 and settled in Sydney. Anne is married with two adult daughters and has lived in Tasmania since 2002.
Anne started Rachel’s Vineyard Retreats, (Healing After Abortion) Tasmania in 2005 and became New Site Coordinator for Catholic sites within Australia and nearby countries in 2009. She writes:
Due to a personal experience I attended a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat in Sydney in 2004. This turned into such a powerful experience I felt the need to bring Rachel’s Vineyard Retreats, (Healing after Abortion) to Tasmania. Since 2005 I have continually seen the need for our ministry in aiding those hurt by abortion. Experiencing the blessings that I witness on these weekends motivates me to continue working in this field. My commitment to assisting women and men who are hurting after an abortion experience through Rachel’s Vineyard retreats has become a passion for me that is indescribable.
