PLENARY COUNCIL 2020 Listen to What the Spirit is Saying

In October 2021, the Catholic Church in Australia will gather for the first
Plenary Council to be held since the second Vatican Council. In 2018,
the entire People of God in Australia began preparing for this historic
moment by listening to God, by listening to one another’s stories of faith.

WORKING DOCUMENT NEXT STEP ON PLENARY COUNCIL JOURNEY 

Work recently began on the development of the working document - or
instrumentum laboris - with the document drawing heavily on the first two
preparatory phases of the Council journey: Listening and Dialogue and
Listening and Discernment.
The voices of more than 220,000 people across the country, as well as
discernment and writing papers on each of the six National Themes for
Discernment, are being considered alongside Church teaching, Scripture,
papal documents and a range of other sources – within and beyond the
Church – in preparing the instrumentum laboris.
