Take Hope Home

Hope is a photographic exhibition presented by Catholic Mission to mark 100 years of World Mission Sunday. Through photographs from communities around the world, it invites you to pause, look more closely and reflect on the hope found in everyday moments of encounter, care, faith and community.

The exhibition is on Level 12 of Tenison Woods House, Australian Catholic University, 8–20 Napier Street, North Sydney. Enter through the Napier Street lobby and take the lift to Level 12.

The Grand Opening is on Friday 23 October 2026, from 6–8pm, and the exhibition runs until Monday 9 November 2026. Regular visiting hours: Weekdays, 9am to 7pm. To book a private tour, contact Astrid at [email protected].

The exhibition is free to visit.

Everyone is welcome. While the exhibition is grounded in Catholic Mission’s work and faith, its photographs invite reflection on experiences that connect us all: love, dignity, belonging and hope.

Yes. The online exhibition launches on 23 October 2026, allowing you to explore the photographs and their stories wherever you are.

Families and school communities are warmly welcome. Activity sheets for primary and secondary students will accompany the online exhibition, encouraging young people to look closely, ask questions and reflect on the stories behind the photographs. For school or group visits, please contact Astrid at [email protected].

The photographs were taken by people who have visited and spent time with Catholic Mission’s partner communities. They capture moments of daily life and the relationships formed through these encounters.

Selected photographic artworks are available to purchase, offering a way to bring a piece of Hope into your home or workplace.

Yes. If the exhibition moves you to support Catholic Mission’s work, you can make a donation through our website or speak with a member of our team. Your generosity helps support the work of local churches and partner communities around the world.

Tax deductibility depends on the activity your donation supports. Donations to the World Mission Month Appeal supporting communities in Malawi are tax-deductible and can be made through our website.

The base price covers the cost of producing the artwork and varies according to its size. This amount is not tax-deductible. You can also choose to make an optional donation, extending the hope captured in your artwork by supporting Catholic Mission’s work alongside communities around the world. Eligible donations made in addition to the artwork’s base price are tax-deductible.

We welcome enquiries from parishes, schools, community groups and organisations interested in experiencing Hope together. Please contact Astrid at [email protected] to discuss availability and arrangements.
