Evangelisation
We reflect on evangelization through two Gospel texts – John 4:5-30 (the Samaritan woman) and Luke 24:13-35 (Emmaus disciples). Encounter Jesus, become disciples, and embrace a missionary, Marian, and synodal style. All the Church, all the Gospel, all the World, all the Time.
SYNODALITY WALKING TOGETHER
Synodality and walking together as the foundation for a DPC (Diocesan Pastoral Council) and its journey towards integrity in action. It emphasizes listening, dialogue, discernment, and a community guided by the Spirit. The focus is on becoming a synodal community on a journey of growth.
Welcome & Opening Address Archdiocesan Synod
Welcome to the Archdiocesan Synod, a sacred journey of synodality. Embracing our baptismal vocation, we listen, dream, and discern together, guided by the Holy Spirit, towards unity and co-responsibility.
Discerning our
Spiritual Gifts
Emphasizes the importance of discerning one’s vocation and charisms, supernatural gifts from the Holy Spirit. It highlights the transformative power of charisms in fulfilling God’s plan and being missionary disciples.
INSTRUMENTUM LABORIS
The Instrumentum Laboris guides the synodal journey, emphasizing dialogue, unity, and global challenges. It calls for continued growth in a synodal Church, drawing from local Church experiences.
Carrying Forward the
Plenary Council
Catholics worldwide engaged in significant processes. In Australia, 222,000 participated in the Fifth Plenary Council, focusing on a Christ-centered Church. Pope Francis invited the Universal Church to a synodal journey. Decree One addresses reconciliation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
