“Revisiting our deepest calls as Religious”
Retreat Facilitator: Mgr Michel Proulx, o.praem.
Bishop of the Diocese of Bathurst, N.B.
In addition to being Prior Priest at the Premonstratensian Monastery of St-Constant from 2008 to 2024, Mgr Michel was Novice Director (1989-2008) and a member of the Order’s International Commission for Initial and Ongoing Formation. He is also a biblical scholar with a vast teaching experience. Registration will open in April.
This year’s continuing education course for vocation and formation ministers is Circles of Light. Together we will explore four topics through the lenses of theology, spirituality, and psychology so that your accompaniment of women and men discerning religious life and the priesthood will be grounded and holistic.
Circles of Light will be held on ZOOM and will include input, conversation, and small group discussion.
