Diocesan Synod, 08 June 2025 – 24 May 2026
The Decree of Convocation can be downloaded here (PDF document). Themed A Future Filled with Hope, the Synod has two objectives: 1) establishing ongoing Synodal processes of consultation in the Diocese so all may participate in discerning needs and directing pastoral efforts; and 2) developing a plan for establishing a Diocesan Pastoral Council to serve as a consultative body to assist the Bishop in pastoral planning and decision-making.
It began on Pentecost Sunday 08 June 2025, then had an open Plenary assembly on Saturday 14 June, with four assemblies scheduled for 10am–3pm on Saturdays 02 August, 20 Sepsember, 15 November, and 14 February, with a final assembly on Saturday 16 May 2026. The Synod then formally closes on Pentecost Sunday 24 May 2026.

Jubilee of Teenagers Pilgrimage 2025
Two parishioners joined the group from the Diocese on the Jubilee of Teenagers Pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome for Holy Week and Easter. Parishioners very generously contributed most of the funds required for our teenage pilgrim, the remainder coming from the generous gift of the Catenian Association in Cairns who chose to assist students from outside the Catholic schools system. Many thanks to all.
