PLENARY COUNCIL UPDATE In response to the dramatic changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the bishops of Australia have made the difficult, but necessary decision to postpone the first assembly of the Plenary Council. The decision was made to postpone the assembly scheduled for October this year. Plenary Council president Archbishop SDB said in a time of such upheaval, including severe restrictions on travel and group meetings, the postponement was unavoidable. Announcements and up-to-date information will be made available through the Plenary Council website, the PlenaryPost electronic newsletter and social media channels.
