Speak Boldly and With Passion
Between now and 6 March 2019, the Catholic Bishops of Australia are asking everyone to share their voices. Something like this hasn’t happened for over eighty years. In fact, it is the highest form of official gathering that a church in a particular country can have. It is called a Plenary, and as this meeting will take place in 2020, the process is being called Plenary 2020. Bishop Vincent Long, the Bishop of Parramatta, particularly wants to hear from us. He is asking us to forward submissions to the national church, but he is also asking us to let him know what we think. He doesn’t want to wait till 2021 for the Plenary Council to conclude. We, as a diocese will start acting in 2019 based on what is shared. So… speak boldly and with passion!
