Title: Trusadh - New Starts
Many of us dream about making a fresh start in our lives - to do something new and to take on a new challenge in a new country. But few of us are actually brave enough to make it happen.

In these days of cheap and easy access to all corners of the world, it's not uncommon for people to head off for a short while, travelling and experiencing a new culture and way of life, only to return home and carry on with life and the comforts and familiarity of their home surroundings.

It takes a far greater level of commitment though to leave all that behind and become part of a new community in a foreign land, far from family, friends, and a normal working life.

That though is exactly what the four intrepid individuals we follow in this week's Trusadh did. Four very different stories from four very different people, as they head for Thailand, Vietnam, Europe and beyond. Each of them have different reasons for making this massive leap in to the unknown, and making that difficult decision to change direction. But they are all driven by the same desire - to start their lives afresh.

Title: Soillse - Women of the Vatican
The Vatican is traditionally a male dominated state. But recently women have increasingly been finding careers at the heart of the Catholic faith; running, promoting and preserving the heart of the Catholic church.

These women do some of the most important jobs in the Vatican - outwith those jobs which require ordination. They fulfil tasks as varied as helping to vet saint applicants to dealing with public enquiries to meet the Pope.
