| PLENARY COUNCIL – LISTENING AND DISCERNMENT PHASE 2019-2020
HOW IS GOD CALLING US TO BE CHRIST-CENTRED CHURCH We cordially invite every parishioner to take part of the sessions of Listening and Discerning Next session: Saturday 7th of December 2019 – St Peter’s College, 2 pm to 4.30 pm As we have heard from Fr Denis and members of the Plenary Council team, in October 2020, the Catholic Church in Australia will gather for the first Plenary Council to be held since the second Vatican Council. We have been praying for the Holy Spirit to guide us in dialogue and help us to understand the current reality of the Catholic Church in Australia. Bishops and many representatives of our parishes, schools and organisations, will gather in conversation and decision making reviewing all the responses we submit in the desire to uphold a Church that is Christ – centred. That is why is so important that we come together to take part in the phase of Listening and Discerning so can our voices will reach the conversations in the Plenary Council. We have this opportunity again to express in communal prayer and reflection our deep hopes and yearnings for a future where Jesus Christ is the centre of the lives in each family.
