OUR INVITATION

To be a more a synodal
Church in the world today.

Across the world, the Catholic Church is embracing a new way of being Church: a synodal way that calls us to listen, discern, walk together and participate in the life and mission of the Church. 

This journey is changing how we encounter one another and how we engage the world around us. For us, synodality and evangelisation belong together: as we learn to walk with one another, we are renewed in our call to encounter Jesus, share His love and bring the Gospel to the world.

In the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn, we are committed to building a Church where people don’t just feel welcomed and heard, but also invited into life-changing encounters with Jesus. Through listening, walking together and moving in the power of the Holy Spirit, we seek to create a culture of evangelisation that reaches beyond our walls and into the places where people live, work and belong.

This is a Church on mission, together.

 

WHAT WE DO

Creating spaces where people can be captured by love of Jesus and move in the power of the Holy Spirit.

We bring this vision to life through a range of ministry areas, initiatives and formation opportunities. From initial encounter to ongoing formation, our desire is to help people take their next step in faith and discover their place in the life of the Church. 

SYNODAL EVANGELISATION IN OUR ARCHDIOCESE IS SIMPLY ABOUT:

Facilitating moments for encounter,
discipleship,
and mission.

OUR TEAM

We're passionate
about seeing
the Church
be all that it is meant to be.

The Synodal Evangelisation Team exists to support parishes, ministries and movements as we carry forward the hopes and priorities that have been identified along our synodal journey in recent years. 

Bringing together a range of skills and experience, our team is here to walk alongside your community and help turn the vision of the Assembly into practical, life-giving action.

Our areas of expertise include: leadership formation, parish renewal strategies, catechesis, ecumenism, liturgy, youth and young adult ministry, and outreach.

We’d love to connect with you and explore how we might support the journey already underway in your parish, ministry or movement. Whether you are discerning a new initiative, looking to renew an existing ministry, or simply wondering what might be possible, the team is ready to listen, accompany and work alongside you.

Let’s continue the journey together and bring the hopes of the Archdiocesan Assembly to life in our local communities.
