synodality

Tuesday, June 06

Walking together

The season of Easter that we have been experiencing for several weeks is known in Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) terms as a time of Mystagogy – a time for post-baptismal catechesis.

Living synodality as mission

Members of the Adelaide Archdiocese were encouraged to continue their journey of synodality and to put the mission of the Church first by the Undersecretary of the Synod of Bishops, Sr Nathalie Becquart, last month.

Archbishop O’Regan and director of Pastoral Life and Mission, Sarah Moffatt, met with Year 5/6 students from St Thomas More and St Mary Magdalene’s schools last month, gathering information as part of the journey to the Synod. Asked what they thought the Archbishop should tell the Pope when he meets with him in Rome next year, the students shared some of the challenges and opportunities they face as young people living in today’s world.

Playing the timely tune, singing the timely song

Generations of young Australian children grew up watching Play School and well knew its signature tune, 'There’s a bear in there'!

Hope and challenge as Plenary approaches

The second assembly of the Plenary Council is rapidly approaching. It is less than a month away and will be held in St Mary’s Cathedral College Hall, adjacent to Hyde Park in Sydney, July 3-9.
