Since last autumn, parishes, schools, families, and young people across the Archdiocese have taken part in a listening process to help shape preparations for the Diocesan Congress on Youth, Family and Faith in March 2026. Communities reflected on their experience of faith today and identified hopes, challenges, and practical proposals for the future. From this shared listening, seven key priorities have emerged, which will now guide the next stage of preparation as delegates gather in advance of the Congress.

To support this preparation, the Archdiocese has produced a podcast reflection series exploring each priority. The episodes allow delegates and parish communities to engage with the material in a flexible way, offering reflections rooted in Scripture and Church teaching alongside proposals emerging from parish and school feedback. The series is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube, with the full playlist available here to help communities prepare together for the Congress.
