FEDERATION OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS CONFERENCES OF OCEANIA
The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference is a member of the Federation of Catholic Bishops Conferences of Oceania, along with the Bishops Conferences of the Pacific, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea – Solomon Islands.
The bishops of the Federation gather for an Assembly every four years. The last Assembly was held in Port Moresby; the next Assembly will be held in Suva in February 2023.
The Assembly next February will primarily focus on care for the oceans, which is an important part of caring for our common home, as set forth by Pope Francis in Laudato si’. Another important focus of the Assembly will be finalising the continental (Oceania region) response to the Synod of Bishops ‘Document for the Continental Stage’ – see https://www.catholic.au/s/article/XVI-Ordinary-General-Assembly-of-the-Synod-of-Bishops.
