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.

The 2022 Diocesan Assembly agenda was informed by:

• The 2021 Diocesan Assembly recommendations and subsequent feedback

• The discernment of the Diocesan Pastoral Council

• Plenary Council outcomes

Participants:

Representatives from parishes, schools, communities and church agencies were invited to participate in the Diocesan Assembly. The Diocesan Assembly is organised by the Diocesan Pastoral Services Team along with a steering committee of 12 people from various areas of Archdiocesan life.
