Evangelisation is in fact the grace and vocation proper to the Church, her deepest identity: she exists in order to evangelise.
(Pope Paul IV, Evangelii nuntiandi)
SCENE
A Congress for the whole Catholic Church

SCENE is a Congress for the Catholic church in Sydney and calls families, parishes, young people, catechists and teachers, priests and the religious, communities and individuals to experience anew the call of the Gospel and to show forth the riches of Christ which have been given to the Church.

You are invited to be a delegate of the Congress:

  • to take part in the Congress sessions in the Cathedral, which will include Morning Prayer, talks and testimonies on aspects of evangelisation, and the celebration of Holy Mass and Adoration.

  • to be involved in "Christ in the City" evangelisation events during the afternoons and evenings during that week.

A Congress of the New Evangelisation is a coming together of people from all parts of the Catholic Church in order to focus upon the great movement which is happening in the Church in our era - that which John Paul II and Benedict XVI have called "the New Evangelisation" - a movement in which the Church is being renewed upon the basis of the great Commission which she received from her Lord and in finding new ways of proclaiming Christ.

SCENE will reflect the whole Church in Sydney, incorporating Parishes, Communities, Movements, together with speakers from home and abroad, and hosting a representation of the Community of St John from France, the USA and England. For a full program of the Congress see the Congress Program.
