A mandate for Justice at the Plenary Council

The second and final Assembly of the Fifth Plenary Council of Australia has taken place in Sydney at the beginning of July.  It was an historic event in the life of the Australian Church.

Our Provincial Paul Cahill has undertaken the four year journey of the Plenary Council on behalf of the Order and shares his reflections in this month’s JPIC newsletter after the final Assembly.  “The plenary council has given an impetus to a change in style, a change in culture, a new way of doing things” says Fr Paul.

You can join Fr Paul on Wednesday 3 August 10.30-midday via Zoom to hear more about the Plenary which he describes as 'contemplative and pastoral'. More information

Carmelite Rule

A rule of life was given to the early Carmelites by St Albert Avogadro, Patriach of Jerusalem between the years 1206 - 1214. It was finally approved by Pope Innocent in 1247 and later underwent mitigations which were not in the original text.

The Carmelite Rule states that is basic for a Carmelite to "live a life of allegiance to Jesus Christ - how, pure in heart and stout in conscience, he must be unswerving in the service of his Master" [no.2].

Safeguarding

The Carmelites of Australia and Timor-Leste are committed to the protection of children, young people and vulnerable adults from all forms of abuse and mistreatment.
