The three-day event, to be held from July 31 to August 2, in Perth’s Scarborough Parish, 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 US, and local clergy such as Fr Mark Payton, Fr Christian Irdi, Fr Conor Steadman, and Deacon Aaron Peters.
The program will include 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 will 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 now open and 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.
