Plenary Council 2020 -2021

The Catholic Bishops of Australia, after much prayer and discernment have decided to hold a Plenary Council in 2020/2021.  This will only be the fifth such Council in the history of the Church in Australia. Details concerning the origin, the process and who may be involved can be found on the Plenary Council’s website – www.plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au.  An event, such as the Plenary Council, has international significance.  

As a result, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, has issued the following statement to the Australian Church: “I extend cordial greetings and prayerful good wishes as the Catholic community in Australia joins in prayer at this time to launch the immediate preparations for the forthcoming 2020 Plenary Council. Upon all taking part in the preparatory process, I invoke the Holy Spirit’s gifts of wisdom, harmony and openness to the Lord’s will for the future of his pilgrim Church in the country. It is my hope that through patient dialogue and faith-filled discernment, the conciliar journey will confirm the Catholics in Australia in a spirit of fraternal unity and missionary discipleship, thus enabling them to be a leaven of holiness, justice and reconciliation in today’s rapidly changing society. As a pledge of the sustaining grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I willingly impart my Apostolic Blessing.” FRANCISCUS PP

Plenary Council - 2020/2021 - Listening Sessions

Date: Jun 19 2018
In beginning our journey towards the 2020 Plenary Council, the key task is listening: listening to God speaking in our own hearts and genuinely listening to one another, for every person has a share in God’s wisdom. 
 
To facilitate this first phase there will be two Listening Sessions in Canberra. These sessions will be an opportunity for all Catholics, both those deeply engaged and at peace with the Church and those marginalized, vulnerable or distant from the Church, to speak what is in their minds and in their hearts. 
 
Our Listening Sessions in Canberra will be held at 10:00-11:30am and 7:00-8:30pm on Tuesday 19th June at Eastlakes Football Club, Gungahlin. The second opportunity will be at 10:00-11:30am and 7:00-8:30pm on Thursday 21st June at Eastlakes Football Club, Kingston. 
 
The Focus Question for the Listening Sessions is – What do you think God is asking of us in Australia at this time? 
 
Please be assured that everyone is most welcome at these sessions. Further details concerning the Plenary Council Preparatory Process will be explained at the Listening Sessions and through the Council’s website, which is www.plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au.
