Acknowledging 70 Years in Australia

The focus for the Annual General Meeting 2026 for the Australian Delegation was to acknowledge 70 years of foundation in Australia. The meeting was held at the MacKillop Spirituality Centre in Baulkham Hills (Sydney) from 7–11 January 2026.

The participants spent a day on historical pilgrimage visiting and praying at the sites where we began in Sydney in and prior to the official date of establishment, 1956.

This was an AGM to remember not only in giving thanks for the past but to look forward with confidence for the future.

A Mass of Acknowedgement, presided by Bishop Charles Gauci, was celebrated at St Francis of Assisi, Paddington. During this Mass, SDC Members and formalised Associates renewed their commitment to the SDC mission.

 

We are grateful for the Preca Community in Australia; first official outreach of the SDC from Malta; supported and encouraged by the Founder, St George Preca, himself.
