  • Delegates Named for Celebration of Plenary
    MEDIA RELEASE March 23, 2020 DELEGATES NAMED FOR CELEBRATION OF PLENARY COUNCIL Plenary Council president Archbishop Timothy Costelloe SDB has written to 266 other Catholics across the country, calling them as delegates for the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia. “At a time in our Church’s history we’ve not seen before, with the suspension of Masses in many parts of the country and around the world, the announcement of our Plenary Council delegates is a source of great joy for the People of God in Australia,” Archbishop Costelloe said. Canon law outlines those who must be called as delegates to a plenary council, including bishops, vicars general, episcopal vicars, heads of seminaries and theological institutions, and leaders of religious congregations. That amounted to 180 delegates. Canon law also allows for delegates who may be called as representatives – the total of which can’t exceed half of the total of those who must be called. The number of delegates from each local church – a diocese, eparchy, ordinariate or prelature – ranged from one to four depending on the local Catholic population. In all, 78 people have so far been confirmed, with additional representation to be named from national organisations representing education, social services, health and aged care, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic. “Bishops across the country worked locally with leaders in their diocese to design a process to consider names of people who were nominated or applied to be delegates for the Plenary Council assemblies,” Archbishop Costelloe said. “We were grateful for and impressed with the faith and the calibre of the people who were nominated.

  • Australian Bishops Release Working Document for October Plenary Council
    Australian bishops release working document for October plenary council SYDNEY (CNS) — The need for “deep, spiritual conversion of all members of the Church stands out” as a key theme of the “instrumentum laboris,” the working document for Australia’s Plenary Council, due to begin in October, said one of its authors. “Continuing the Journey,” the working paper for Australia’s fifth plenary council, was released Feb. 25 by Australia’s Catholic bishops. “There’s a need for a greater expression of the co- responsibility of all the baptized if the church (in Australia) is to take the mission to evangelize seriously in the decades ahead,” said Daniel Ang, director of the Archdiocese of Sydney’s Centre for Evangelisation and a co- author of the working document. “And what I think the document recognizes is that while we could well reform some of our structures and policies, ultimately even these changes will not bear fruit without the conversion of the relationships within the church and with others beyond the church that give these reforms life or possibility.” “I think it clearly delineates the fact that the renewal of the church will be achieved by centering ourselves in Christ and facing the changing circumstances of our time with fidelity and creativity,” he told The Catholic Weekly, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Sydney. The 76-page document, currently awaiting approval from the Vatican’s Congregation for Bishops, was released online in Australia by the plenary’s national facilitation team and will serve as the key framework and stimulus for discussion at the coming council.

  • Why the Delays in Appointing Australia's Bishops?
    Why the delays in appointing Australia’s Bishops? Bishops for the Australian mission From 1788, when the First Fleet sailed into Botany Bay, until 31 March 2016, seventeen popes have entrusted the pastoral care of Australia’s Catholics to 214 bishops. Until 1976 the popes had also designated Australia a ‘mission’ territory and placed it under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide which largely determined the selection of its bishops. The first five bishops never set foot on Australian soil. All English, they shepherded from afar, three from London, and two from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa where, from 1820 to 1832, they tendered their flock in distant New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land via priest delegates. The selection and appointment in 1832 of Australia’s first resident bishop, English Benedictine John Bede Polding, as Vicar Apostolic of New Holland and Van Diemen’s Land, was the result of long and delicate political and ecclesiastical negotiations between Propaganda, the British Home Secretary, the Vicars Apostolic of the London District and Cape of Good Hope, the English Benedictines, and the senior Catholic clerics in NSW. The process was repeated until English candidates were no longer available and the majority Irish Catholic laity in Australia had made it clear that they wanted Irish bishops. The first Irish bishop, Francis Murphy, was appointed by Pope Gregory XVI in 1842, and by 1900, another 30 Irish bishops had been appointed. Propaganda’s selection process was heavily influenced by Irish bishops in Ireland and Australia and the predominantly Irish senior priests in the Australian dioceses.

  • Plenary Wrap-Up – May, 2011 the Following Is a Record of Proceedings
    Plenary wrap-up – May, 2011 The following is a record of proceedings and discussions which took place at the Plenary Meeting of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference between May 6-12, 2011. The Mass of the Holy Spirit was concelebrated on Friday 6 May in the chapel of Mary MacKillop Place, North Sydney at 7am. The President of Conference, Archbishop Philip Wilson, was the principal celebrant and preached the homily. The President welcomed the Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Guiseppe Lazzarotto who was warmly greeted. As is customary for each Plenary, religious leaders from CRA (Catholic Religious Australia) were present as observers for all of the sessions. These leaders were Sr. Anne Derwin rsj (Sister of St Joseph); Fr Timothy Norton svd (Divine Word Missionary); and Sr Marie Duffy rsm (Sister of Mercy). In a particular moment, the Bishops remembered fondly but with deep sadness their brother Bishop Joseph Angelo Grech, who died suddenly late last year (28 December) of a blood disorder. His contribution to the life of the Australian Church was recognised, and the Bishops reflected on the difficulty of losing such a talented individual on many of their commissions. The following changes to Commissions were approved: Bishop Peter Elliott retire from the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life due to commitments to the Personal Ordinariate; Bishop Julian Porteous be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Mission and Faith Formation; Bishop Christopher Prowse be seconded to the Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life; Bishop Christopher Prowse

  • The Founding and Establishment 1986-2014
    the founding and establishment of the university of notre dame australia 1986-2014 Peter Tannock November 2014 The Objects of The University of Notre Dame Australia are: a) the provision of university education within a context of Catholic faith and values; and b) the provision of an excellent standard of – i) teaching, scholarship and research; ii) training for the professions; and iii) pastoral care for its students. I have written this brief monograph as a personal account of some of the people and events associated with the founding and establishment of The University of Notre Dame Australia. It reflects my memory of, and opinions about, the main issues and challenges faced by the founders, and the milestones in the University’s progress, since it was first conceptualized in 1986. This monograph is a contribution to the University’s celebrations of 25 years since the passage of its founding Act through the Parliament of Western Australia in December, 1989. A subsequent complementary monograph, containing select records and photographs relevant to this story, will be published. I should like to acknowledge the great contribution of Leonie Peacock to the preparation of this publication. Peter Tannock Vice Chancellor Emeritus The University of Notre Dame Australia November 2014 1 The University of Notre Dame Australia Origins: 1986-1992 The idea of establishing a private Catholic University in Perth, Western Australia emerged in the second half of the 1980s. It arose from the realisation by the Archdiocese of Perth and the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia that there were inadequate means of providing special training for the substantial numbers of lay people who would be needed for future service at all levels in the State’s extensive and growing Catholic school system.

  • A Journey of Discernment the Plenary Council
    A Journey of Discernment The Plenary Council The Most Rev Timothy Costelloe SDB Archbishop of Perth President, Fifth Plenary Council of Australia August 2020 The decision to postpone the First Assembly of the Plenary Council until 2021 was not, in the end, a difficult one for the bishops of Australia to make. There were a number of things to consider: the uncertainty surrounding the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for large gatherings of people; the possible re-structuring of the airline industry in Australia; the preoccupation of people in relation to the impact of the pandemic on their personal, family and professional lives; and the need for the Catholic community to demonstrate its determination to support the common effort in combatting the virus. In considering these matters, it became clear that the plan for the First Assembly to be held in October 2020 needed to be revised. There was some disappointment accompanying the recognition of the inevitability of the decision. At the same time, however, there was a widespread conviction that the postponement of the First Assembly offered the whole Church in Australia a precious, and indeed God-given, opportunity to enter more deeply into the process of discernment which has always been at the very heart of the Plenary Council project. It is sometimes forgotten that the decision to hold process – demonstrates this very clearly. So do a Plenary Council was taken after, and was the fruit the six discernment papers published on Pentecost of, the Year of Grace which Australian Catholics Sunday. These documents speak the language celebrated in 2012.
