Noted actor and comedian Rod Quantock will re-enact Daniel Mannix's historic speech 100 years on, in the same hall.
On the afternoon of 28 January 1917, the charismatic Bishop Mannix for the first time publicly criticised World War One as a "trade war", in a speech at St Ambrose Hall for the opening of a new school.
Rod will be introduced by historian Dr Val Noone, whose main field of research is Australia's Irish Catholic history. There will be time for audience questions and comments. MC will be Frances Newell.
The afternoon begins with a performance of Stephen Taberner's new song "Ghosts Don't Lie", presented by the Serenading Adela Choir, directed by Jeannie Marsh, featuring soloist Lisa-Marie Parker and accordionist Dave Evans (from The Band Who Knew Too Much).
