Catholic Mission El Camino Pilgrimage
2024-11-01 | Spain
Walk “the Way” in the true spirit of ancient Christian pilgrimage!
For over a thousand years pilgrims have walked the Camino Francés – the French Way – to the tomb of the Apostle, Santiago – St James. The beauty and power of Catholic Mission’s pilgrimage lies within the graced experience of walking, a pilgrimage to the sacred inner regions of the heart.
Our focus is on the way we travel, entering into a comfortable, contemplative rhythm of daily walking, appreciating simple hospitality in accommodation and food. A Camino in the companionship of a small group, balanced with times for silence and personal reflection, and the camaraderie of strangers as fellow travellers.
In León we are sent on our pilgrimage by the Benedictine Nuns with the traditional pilgrim blessing. Over 15 days we walk approx. 300 klms. through some of the most beautiful parts of Spain, traversing ancient cities and villages, lush forests and vineyards, along a route marked by silence, stone crosses, cathedrals and churches, history and legends, and arrive in Santiago de Compostela in time for the traditional pilgrim Mass at noon.
Regardless of the motive for which one sets out on the Camino to Santiago de Compostela, the journey itself becomes a spiritual adventure, drawing believers and seekers into a deeper experience. As one of our past pilgrims said: “These days on the Camino revealed me to myself in a way nothing else had.”
2025 dates to be announced. Expression of Interest by Nov 1 2024. Price given is for 2024, not 2025.

As the body of Christ, we are called to make Jesus present in every age to all people. But this isn’t always easy!

Divine Renovation Open House: New Plymouth
2024-11-22 15:00 - 2024-11-23 16:00 | Catholic Parish of New Plymouth, 106 Powderham Street, New Plymouth, 4310, New Zealand
As a priest or active parishioner, we know you want to see your parish come alive. But the problem is, without seeing the example of other parishes doing things differently, it’s difficult to see what’s possible. Does the thought of parish renewal make you feel overwhelmed or doubtful whether you could ever see something great happen in your parish?We understand how parish renewal can seem intimidating.
This is why we’re inviting priests and parish leaders like you to our upcoming Divine Renovation Open House: 2 day event where you will connect with parishes that have come alive by pursuing mission, hear inspiring stories of what they’ve learned in their journey, and be encouraged by seeing hope for what’s possible in your own parish.
We will be joined by Bishop John Adams and Bishop Michael Gielen as we break open this important conversation.

BBI - Understanding the Beatitudes
2025-02-19 16:00 | Online
One of the most striking examples of Jesus’ teaching is the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew’s gospel. The Beatitudes are the foundation on which that sermon is built. They are also one of the most beautiful statements of Christian ethics. Yet at the same time, they are also some of the trickiest verses in the Bible to interpret. In this subject, we’ll tackle the meaning of the blessings by putting them into the context of the gospels, the Hebrew Bible, and wider Jewish literature, like the Dead Sea Scrolls. We’ll think about what the Beatitudes contribute to our understanding of Jesus’ teaching and mission. And finally, we’ll think about how the Beatitudes still matter today.

Interacting with the Global Church at the Synod
2025-02-23 08:00 - 17:00 | St Thomas More Catholic Parish, 30 White Crescent, Campbell, ACT, 2612, Australia
In March 2020, Pope Francis announced that the theme for the 16th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops would be “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation and Mission”. He invited the entire Church to reflect on this theme that he saw as decisive for its life and mission: “It is precisely this path of synodality which God expects of the Church of the third millennium.” The Synod, also known as the Synod on ‘Synodality’, was a three-year listening and discernment process that began in parishes and groups and progressed to discussions at the diocesan, national, continental, and global levels. In 2023 and 2024, two Synod Assemblies included the historic participation of 70 non-bishops (including deacons, priests, consecrated and lay men and women) with full voting rights. The Final Document was published on 26 October 2024, with Pope Francis’s approval, and the news that, in another unprecedented action, he would not write a post-synodal apostolic exhortation but would instead would offer the Final Document to the entire Church to implement.
Dr Trudy Dantis, National Coordinator for the Synod in Australia, was active in Synodal consultations from the start and participated at all levels, eventually attending both Assemblies as a representative from the Oceania region. She reflects on the journey, providing insights into the consultative processes at each stage and sharing her experience at the global assemblies that assisted Church leaders in living communion, increasing participation, and preparing for ministry and mission in a synodal Church.

Theology & Integral Ecology Conference 2025
2025-02-24 - 2025-02-25 | University of Oxford, United Kingdom
We are delighted to announce a major international conference to take place on 24-25 April 2025 at the University of Oxford: Theology and Integral Ecology: New Approaches to our Planetary Crisis.
The conference will address questions at the intersection of theology and integral ecology, exploring the interconnectedness of the social, cultural, economic, political, and scientific aspects of our current global situationLi
Taking place over two days, 24-25 April 2025, the conference will feature a diverse programme addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of integral ecology, as relevant to the discipline of theology and beyond.
It will primarily be of interest to scholars in theology, religious studies, philosophy and ethics who are working on questions around nature, culture and politics. But as an interdisciplinary approach, integral ecology also opens out to broad engagements with the social and natural sciences, and with other disciplinary fields in the humanities such as philosophy, history, literary studies and the environmental humanities.

Didaskō Faith Formation – Ecclesiology
2025-03-03 08:00 - 17:00 | QLD
The Church as the Mystical Body of Christ
Presented by Dr Mario Baghos
This course will explore the relationship between Jesus Christ as head of the Church and the faithful as his mystical or spiritual body. Focusing on the Scriptures and Tradition, it will show that God was preparing the establishment of the Church by Christ in his ministry and with the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. It will then address Jesus as the master of both the universe and the Church, before showing how our participation in the sacraments—specifically Christ’s body and blood in the Eucharist—initiates us into Jesus’ death and resurrection leading to eternal life. And this has implications not just for us, but for the whole world, even the cosmos.

Session 2: Monday 10 March
Session 3: Monday 17 March
