New Pentecost 2005 forums were held in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney which hosted the main event under the theme 'A Church that won't be silenced'.
Thanks to the Australian Catholic Movement for Intellectual and Cultural Affairs (ACMICA) and particularly Minh Nguyen and Fr Peter Maher for their work as lead organisers of NP2005 and Chico Whitaker's visit to Sydney.
