Catholic Mission to open photography exhibit ‘Hope’ on October 23

Catholic Mission will open a photography exhibition titled Hope on October 23 at the Australian Catholic University’s North Sydney campus. The exhibit showcases the organization's global work over the last ten years to celebrate 100 years of World Mission Sunday.

Simone Medri, the communications and digital director for Catholic Mission, took the photographs featured in the collection. His images capture moments of faith, care, and connection within various communities. Medri, who has worked with the organization since 2013, said the photos represent his experiences living among the remote communities depicted in the work.

National Director Peter Gates said the exhibition serves to recognize simple moments of hope and celebrate the missionary spirit that connects Australian Church communities with local Church communities worldwide.
