The First General Assembly of the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia ran from October 3-10, 2021. It commenced the nine-month period of celebration, with the Second General Assembly scheduled for July 2022.
In 2020, we announced the roughly 280 members (formerly called delegates) for the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia, including members nominated by dioceses, eparchies, ordinariates, leaders of religious congregations, some church ministries and a personal prelature. The members represented those local churches at the celebration of the Council over two assemblies.
