The Archdiocese of Perth Centre for Faith Enrichment held its fifth successful seminar on 24 June, as part of its mission to encourage continuous discernment and prayer, as the first Plenary Council (PC) Assembly approaches this October.

The latest seminar held at Newman Siena Centre, led by Catholic Education Western Australia Director of Religious Education Dr Chris Cotter explored one of six Plenary Council themes, “Discovering A Christ-centred Church that is Open to Conversion, Renewal and Reform.”

Dr Cotter began by explaining the need, expressed by the Church through the Plenary Council, ‘to promote a culture of reform through renewed governance structure and procedures, to strengthen faith communities for the mission of the Gospel through faith formation, participation in parish life and the support of young people, and a willingness to embed the Gospel mission in the soil of the people and conditions of Australia.’
