About the 2022 Diocesan Assembly

Date: 21-22 October 2022

Location: Nazareth Catholic College - Flinders Park Campus (1 Hartley Road, Flinders Park)

The 2022 Diocesan Assembly is a continuation of the work that was started at the 2021 assembly. In 2021 participants developed recommendations for local parishes, schools, communities, agencies and for the Archdiocese as a whole. These recommendations need to be further discerned by the local communities and diocesan leadership. The 2022 Diocesan Assembly will build on the 2021 recommendations and provide opportunities for formation, skill-building, and strategic planning. It will also be an opportunity to look at the results of the Plenary Council and how they will be incorporated into local and diocesan life.
