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 will represent those local churches at the celebration of the Council over two assemblies.

Please continue to pray for the Plenary Council members, and for the Church in Australia.
