"Keep us from becoming a 'museum church,' beautiful but mute, with much past and little future," Pope Francis
The Church of God is convened in Synod. With this convocation, Pope Francis invites the whole Church to question itself on synodality: a decisive theme for the life and mission of the Church. The Church in Australia joins the rest of the world in embarking on this intentional process of mutual listening that will span two years and engage the people of God in a journey of communion, participation and mission.

" Pope Francis : EVANGELII GAUDIUM
