Here are the events
planned for 2024. These
events are all considered as
continuing education for Lay
Readers of the Diocese of
Montréal.
Note.
After further discussions
with the seminar leaders on
pastoral care, we have moved
the two seminars originally
planned for January and
February to a single
full-day event on Saturday,
April 6. Even though the
event will be in-person
only, the move will allow
even people who live further
away to attend. Besides
that, we recommend that all
lay readers participate in
the Multicultural Awareness
and Anti-Bias Training this
Spring.
