The Mission One Heart Many Voices conference, co-ordinated by Catholic Mission in partnership with Catholic Religious Australia, will be held from May 19-21 in Sydney with the theme: ‘Choosing hope: Trust yourself to its leading’.

The conference will take place at the SMC Conference and Function Centre, in the heart of the Sydney CBD.

“In 2025, the Year of Jubilee - Pilgrims of Hope we will convene the seventh Mission: one heart many voices conference and we are again taking the opportunity to do things a little differently, in response to the signs of the times and with a heart of hope,” said Peter Gates, Catholic Mission’s Deputy National Director.

“The co-designed program and process by a wonderful group of mission collaborators offers unique opportunities to see and choose emerging pathways, possibilities and seeds of hope for now and the future. Thus the invitational challenge of the conference, ‘Choosing hope: trust yourself to its leading’.”

The seventh biennial MOHMV conference promises a transformative experience, bringing together local and international leaders, theologians, and mission-driven professionals across sectors. Key presenters include Dr. Anna Cody, Australia’s Sex Discrimination Commissioner and Dr Estela Padilla, Theologian, member of the Synod on Synodality and consultant to the Federation of Asian Bishops Conference.

“At this conference we aim to create a crossing place, an opportunity to develop skills and capabilities to manage the challenges, including the risks, of choosing and deciding the path to take. This place of vulnerability and uncertainty (not knowing) is a place of learning for new possibilities,” explained Peter.

The MOHMV 2025 conference will be informed, enlivened by and contribute to the ongoing journey of the Plenary Council, the Synod on Synodality and the celebration of the Jubilee Year with ‘deep faith, lively hope and active charity’.
