From 29 September to 3 October 2025, the Pilgrims of Hope NATSICC Assembly will gather Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics, clergy, religious and lay leaders in the Hunter Valley, NSW.

More than a conference, this Spirit-led gathering offers a rare opportunity for deep listening, cultural exchange and shared faith. A dedicated Youth Assembly will run alongside, building leadership and launching a National Youth Ambassador Network.

All Dioceses are urged to send representatives. Clergy in particular are encouraged to attend and deepen their cultural understanding and pastoral care.

The Assembly promises to enrich our communities, parishes and Church. For more, visit natsicc.org.au.
