A Xaverian sister, Nathalie Becquart was appointed in 2019 as a consultant to the Synod of Bishops’ secretariat in Rome by Pope Francis. She is among the first women ever to be appointed to such a role.
Sister Nathalie served as an auditor during the 2018 Synod of Bishops gathering on youth in Rome and is an expert voice on what it means to be a synodal Church, as envisioned by the Second Vatican Council.
From 2008 to 2018 she ran the office for the evangelisation of young people and vocations at the French Bishops’ Conference and has spent many years in pastoral ministry. She has studied Theology, Philosophy and Sociology and is currently carrying out research into synodality at Boston College, in Massachusettes. Sr Nathalie has been a strong advocate for giving women more leadership roles in the Church.
