schedule

The community of the Centre for Ministry Formation is pleased to invite you to our annual symposium that will be held from February  8th-10th, 2010.  Please reserve these dates to participate in this privileged occasion to deepen our partnership and build Christian community together.

In the context of our theme this year “Ministry at the Service of Building Christian Community” we will explore the connections between ministry and the building of mature Christian Community, the relationships between ourselves and others who share in pastoral leadership with us, links between ourselves and the theological, missionary, psychological and cultural dimensions of our theme.

We will have presentations, panel discussions, open conversations, case studies and other events to help us engage with our theme. This is a wonderful way to honour this ‘Year of the Priest’ as we deepen our understanding of this essential dimension of pastoral ministry.

For more information, please contact Antoinette Bitar at 613-236-1393, Ext. 2418.
