PLENARY COUNCIL 2020
Listen to what the Spirit is saying.... The last time the Catholic Church in Australia held a Plenary Council was in 1937. It has been more than 80 years since we gathered all of the Church together and much has changed. In 2020 we will have a Plenary Council about the future of the Catholic Church in Australia. What are we called to do? Who are we called to be? How do we need to change? The journey toward the Plenary Council will help us to prepare to listen to God be listening to one another. We invite all people to engage, to be a part of the listening and dialogue encounter in the next two years. www.plenarycouncil.org.au
