Save the Date: 16-19 October 2025
The 2025 Australian National Conference will be held 16-19 October 2025 in Sydney NSW. This is an opportunity to have your thoughts heard and be involved in what may happen in the future. It is a chance to renew friendships with other Catenians, make new friends and find out what is happening in the Catenian world.
The theme of the Conference is Reaching Out. Reaching out to men in the Catholic community to come and join us. Reaching out to Brother Catenians to ensure we are providing value to them through the Association. Reaching out to Brother Catenians and their families who need support. Reaching out to the clergy and broader church to provide support in terms of our aims. Reaching out to youth to support them through Bursary Fund, Youth Project, debating and speaking competitions etc., again in terms of our aims. Reaching out to charities in terms of our aims.
The program is:
- Thursday 16 October: Welcome Function
- Friday 17 October: morning workshops at Australian Catholic University (ACU) Cosgrove Centre North Sydney
