Get ready for Father's Day!

The cat is officially half out of the bag!

We are pulling out all the stops for this year’s Father's Day Fifth Quarter Event, and we couldn’t hold back the excitement any longer. It’s time to drop our first VIP guest reveal…

Joining us on stage is none other than Geelong legend and three-time AFL premiership icon, Stevie J!

Known for his incredible skill, big-game brilliance and unmatched swagger, Stevie J is ready to bring the stories, the banter and the grit. 

But hold your horses – VIP Guest Two is still strictly under wraps.

Can you guess who will be joining Stevie on stage? Here’s what we can tell you about our second star:

• They are also a three-time AFL premiership player.
• Their leadership, football knowledge and legendary stories will leave you inspired, laughing and starstruck.
• And, this legend didn't just play the game – he led from the front as team captain.

Think you know who guest two is? Head over to our social media post to lock in your final guesses before we share the whole lineup!

Keep your eyes peeled – ticket bookings and our final big reveal are dropping very soon!

Circle of Mercy 2026

Anchored in Hope. Acting in Mercy. 
Where the Spirit of the Jubilee Meets the Heart of our Mission.

Session Three – The Work: Addressing the Critical Concerns of Mercy with Renewed Courage

Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical urges a courageous, compassionate approach to artificial intelligence, insisting technology must serve human dignity and the common good. It warns against diminishing empathy or moral responsibility and calls for innovation guided by mercy, solidarity and protection for the vulnerable. Ultimately, true progress is measured not by technological power, but by our capacity to remain human and care for those most at risk.

Our keynote speaker is Fr Richard Leonard, a Jesuit priest and academic with a PhD from the University of Melbourne and degrees in arts, education, and theology. Former director of the Australian Catholic Office for Film and Broadcasting for 22 years, he has served on major international film festival juries (including Cannes, Venice, and Berlin) and lectured globally on faith and culture. He is an Honorary Fellow at ACU, has held visiting positions at UCLA and the Gregorian University, and currently serves as parish priest of North Sydney, Lavender Bay and Kirribilli.

Join us as we learn to widen the circle of Mercy and turn our Hope into a lived experience for all.
