Bishop Julian is the Episcopal Vicar for Renewal in the Archdiocese of Sydney. Bishop Julian has been actively involved in evangelisation, particularly among young people. He organised a number of evangelisation rallies – Jesus Christ at Manly Oval (1983), Jesus Christ at Belmore Oval (1984) – to reach out to young Catholics. He was instrumental in establishing the Pastoral Training School (now called "Summer School"), which, since 1984, has formed thousands of young Catholics in their Catholic faith and in the pastoral skills necessary to contribute to the Church's evangelising ministry. He has been an advocate of the New Evangelisation called for by Pope John Paul II and has organised two colloquiums on the New Evangelisation and, in 2009, organised a Congress on the New Evangelisation (SCENE).
