Evangelisation Australia is set to host the “RENEWED” Why Be Catholic (WBC) Conference from July 31 to August 2, 2025 at Scarborough Parish.
The three-day event is part of the global Jubilee Year 2025, themed “Pilgrims of Hope,” offering Catholics an opportunity for profound spiritual renewal through the sacraments.
The conference aims to guide participants through a transformative journey, rediscovering the life-changing power of Baptism, Confirmation, and Reconciliation.
Attendees will engage with renowned Catholic speakers, including Deacon Bob Rice from Franciscan University in the USA, and local clergy such as Fr Mark Payton, Fr Christian Irdi, Fr Conor Steadman, and Deacon Aaron Peters.
The program features daily Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, the Liturgy of the Hours, and opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
The conference schedule includes evening sessions on Thursday and Friday, with a full-day program on Saturday.
Highlights of the Conference include keynote addresses, theological discussions, personal testimonies, and communal worship experiences.
A special consecration ceremony will conclude the event, inviting participants to recommit to living as new creations in Christ.
Registration is open, with early bird rates available until July 7. Adults can register for $90, while teens aged 12-18 can register for $60.
Children under 12 can attend for free, but registration is required.
A special youth session on Friday night is also free for attendees aged 30 and under. Clergy and religious are invited to attend at no cost.
The “RENEWED” conference aligns with the broader initiatives of the Jubilee Year 2025, a time designated by the Catholic Church for spiritual renewal, pilgrimage, and reconciliation.
The Jubilee Year, proclaimed by Pope Francis, began on December 24, 2024, and will conclude on January 6, 2026.
Throughout this period, various events and resources are available to help the faithful deepen their faith and experience God’s mercy.
