Inner North Assembly – Saturday, 27 September 2025

Would you like to meet with others across our inner north Catholic community to pray and discern how to build a sense of belonging and deepen our faith and share it with others? You are warmly invited to take up this opportunity. When: Saturday, 27 September 2025, 10am – 3.30pm. Where: Australian Catholic University, Watson. The assembly will be preceded by 9am Mass at Holy Rosary Church and follows Pope Leo’s greetings to Rome and the world on 8 May when he emphasised the need to look for ‘ways to be a missionary Church, a Church that builds bridges and encourages dialogue’ and to be a synodal Church. Synodality in this context is a ‘walking together’ that Pope Francis explained as a ‘respectful, mutual listening, free of ideology and predetermined agendas’.
In For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, Mission – Final Document (26 October 2024), synodality is explained as ‘primarily a spiritual disposition [permeating] the daily life of the Baptised as well as every aspect of the Church’s mission’ (para 43). A synodal spirituality flows from the action of the Holy Spirit. In Pope Francis’s words: ‘the Holy Spirit is a sure guide and our first task is to learn how to discern his voice, since he speaks through everyone and in all things’.
