WHAT IS A PLENARY COUNCIL?
A Plenary Council is the highest formal gathering of all local churches in a country. Our Plenary Council 2020 is being held so that we can dialogue about the future of the Catholic Church in Australia.
WHY DO WE NEED TO HAVE A PLENARY COUNCIL?
Pope Francis has invited the local church to dialogue. Our society has changed significantly, and the Royal Commission into Institutional Response to Child Sexual Abuse has been a significant event that requires deep consideration and response.
HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?
- Visit www.plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au
- Start a conversation with family and friends
- Reflect and pray
- Participate in our parish sessions
- Submit a response as detailed in this flyer
We invite you to attend one of these listening and dialogue sessions to discuss and formulate personal and group responses

Our Plenary Council 2020 is being held so that we can dialogue about the future of the Catholic Church in Australia. Pope Francis has invited us to speak boldly and listen deeply with an open and humble heart. |
The three questions for your submission are:
- What do you think God is asking of us in Australia at this time?
- What questions do you have about the future of the Church for the Plenary Council to consider in 2020?
- Do you have a story of your experience of faith, or the Church you would like to share?
