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.

Stella Maris National Director Fr Tony Cox SSC said while Sea Sunday was a time to appeal for financial assistance, more importantly it is “an opportunity to become more actively conscious of their lives of seafarers and the hardships they encounter and endure”.

Former Perth YCW diocesan president and national secretary, Gemma Wool-torton, introduced the event, recalling the achievements of the movement in Western Australia over the decades.

Speaking to an audience of Catholic leaders, religious, and social service professionals at the Duxton Hotel on Thursday 12 June for the 2025 St Mary of the Cross MacKillop Oration, Archbishop Costelloe emphasised that Catholic social outreach must never lose sight of Christ as its source and goal.

The topic of ‘Home’ will be examined by an up-coming conference featuring international and interstate speakers and organised by the Christopher Dawson Society for Philosophy and Culture.
