Xavier School of Mission
2022-06-19 18:00 - 2022-06-24 11:00 | Holy Spirit Seminary, Banyo, 487 Earnshaw Rd, Banyo, QLD, 4014, Australia
The Xavier School of Mission aims to equip and form leaders in evangelisation at the service of the Dioceses of Queensland and beyond. It is a dynamic and flexible resource that places the Church’s mission to evangelise at the heart of Holy Spirit Seminary’s formative process.
It emerges from Holy Spirit Provincial Seminary’s commitment to a vision of the Church as a community of faith of all the baptised faithful (cf. Lumen Gentium 9), and seeks to form priests who are enabled for a rich collaborative ecclesial leadership and ministry. To that end, each year it opens its doors to leaders across the five dioceses of Queensland and beyond for the
Xavier School of Mission.
The 2022 theme is the Theology of Mission: All in? When Mission is our Lens. Francis dreams of a “’missionary option’, that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channelled for the evangelisation of today’s world” (Evangelii Gaudium 27).

What would it look like if mission really were the unifying focus of our communities?
What does a missionary liturgy feel like?
How does our outreach to those on the margins define who we are? How would the relationship between the diverse communities that make up our Church change if we integrate mission as the intent and aim of all that we do?

These and other questions will frame the experience of our week together as we seek to respond to the Spirit’s call for a new generation of apostles.
Notice: Registration for the 2022 Xavier School of Mission is open until 1 June, 2022.
Please use the form to register expressions of interest for future Xavier Schools.

The Outsider Pope: Where is Francis leading our Church?
2022-07-11 17:00 - 18:00 | Newman College, Melbourne, 887 Swanston St, Parkville, Victoria, 3052, Australia
Helder Camara Lecture by Christopher Lamb
Christopher Lamb is the Vatican correspondent for The Tablet. Founded in 1840, the weekly journal is a hugely
influential voice amongst the 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide. Joining in 2009 from the Daily Telegraph, he also appears
regularly on TV news around the world. Christopher in his book ‘The Outsider’: Pope Francis and His Battle to Reform the
Church reflects on the depth of his access to the Vatican, and his ringside seat witnessing Pope Francis’ battle to renew the
church – suggesting “the forces seeking to block a Pope’s agenda” have “not been this powerful since the Renaissance;”
reflects on Pope Francis, the human being – “a reforming, enigmatic figure,” whose unique journey to becoming Pope
has shaped a Gospel shaped, forward-thinking outlook – and leads him to challenge the church on clerical sexual abuse,
injustice, and the exploitation of the world’s most vulnerable people– including refugees and those in poverty.

History, Truth Telling, and The Uluru Statement from the Heart
2022-07-21 19:00 - 20:00
The Uluru Statement from the Heart has been invoked by the newly elected Labor government, which has been celebrated by some as a sign of hope and reconciliation. The Statement has wide, but not universal, support from First Nations communities. It is framed in terms of a specific historical period – ‘from the Creation, according to the common law from “time immemorial,” and according to science more than 60,000 years ago.’

In this online webinar, The Uniting Church National History Society in association with the University of Divinity, will bring together Indigenous leaders and historians to discuss the significance of this historical framing. The panel will engage in a respectful and robust discussion around the Statement and explore the place of history and truth telling in working toward that Makarrata which is the ‘coming together after a struggle’ for the sake of a more just and self-determined future for First Nations people.

Season of Creation
2022-09-01 - 2022-10-04
The Season of Creation begins September 1, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, and ends October 4, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of ecology. As this year’s Season of Creation nears, we provide a recap of how we’ve prepared to celebrate this meaningful occasion and look ahead at what’s to come.
What is the Season of Creation? It’s the annual Christian celebration of prayer and action for our common home. We listen and respond to the cry of creation as one Christian community. *Read related blog
What’s happened so far in 2022
The Season of Creation symbol was launched in February, as leaders reflected on the need for all Christians to truly “Listen to the Voice of Creation,” the theme of the 2022 Season of Creation. God’s creation moans ever louder and suffers more every day amidst the ongoing climate emergency and biodiversity crisis. *Read related blog
With excitement, the countdown to live the Season of Creation 2022 began with a launch event that was broadcasted live in June. Representatives of different denominations encouraged reflection on this year’s theme, ”Listen to the Voice of Creation”, and the symbol of the “burning bush”.
In addition, this year’s Season of Creation Celebration Guide was presented, with practical indications to prepare for this ecumenical time, inviting Christian communities around the world to unite in action and prayer for creation. *Download this year’s Celebration Guide. *Read related blog
This July, in an unprecedented press conference, Pope Francis’ message was released ahead of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, which marks the beginning of the Season of Creation.
In his message, Pope Francis defines the Season of Creation as “an opportunity to cultivate our ‘ecological conversion’”, recalling this concept encouraged by St. John Paul II as a response to the ‘ecological catastrophe’ announced by St. Paul VI as early as 1970.
*Read related blog
Looking Ahead
During August, we are in preparation to reach local leaders and call our communities to participate actively by raising awareness of the theme, and how to respond to the cry of
creation where the Lord calls us in our diverse contexts.
Through this process of preparation, community leaders collaborate to make this annual celebration increasingly well-known, mainstreaming creation care in the global Church in the Synod of Synodality journey.
Join us by registering your participation and your events for the Season of Creation.
