Our Synod Journey

 

Over the past few years, in partnership with the Centre Oblat, the Star of the North Retreat House, and Queen’s House Retreat Centre (closed July 2024), a series of speaker panels was convened to discuss the Synodal Process in Canada and beyond. The video of the November 20, 2024 panel discussion is now available, along with the PowerPoint presentations from the speakers Fr. Ray Lafontaine, Episcopal Vicar of the Archdiocese of Montreal, Sr. Elizabeth Davis, rsm, Sisters of Mercy, Newfoundland. and Bob Czerny, member of St. Basil’s Catholic Parish, Ottawa, ON.
