If Carapichaima parish priest Fr Matthew D’Hereaux had both time and money, he’d write a book with the title “Out of the Bedroom, Into the Boardroom.”
Why? In his opinion, the Church has for some time offered spiritual guidance on sexual matters but not enough emphasis has been placed on ethics in the corporate and business world.
With that opening, Fr D’Hereaux had the attention of participants in the second workshop on “Vocation of the Business Leader: A Reflection”, organised by the Catholic Commission for Social Justice, in conjunction with the Pro-Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. It was held January 19 at the Bishop Mendes Auditorium, San Fernando. The workshop is a reflection on a practical handbook for Catholic businessmen and women published by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, led by Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson.
