SUMMARY:Resisting Throwaway Culture
DESCRIPTION:A conversation about how Catholics can transcend the left-right political divide and build a political culture of encounter and hospitality \nOurs is a “throwaway culture”\, in the words of Pope Francis—one in which the vulnerable are too-often discarded like trash. It doesn’t have to be this way. In his book Resisting Throwaway Culture\, Fordham University professor Charles Camosy calls us to transcend the left-right political divide in favour of a Catholic culture of hospitality and encounter where “no one is useless\, no one is expendable… [and includes] those on the peripheries of life.” Join us for a free webinar with Professor Camosy about how a Consistent Life Ethic can unite us and build this political culture\, one rooted in love and human dignity.

SUMMARY:Catholic Leaders' Mission:  free two-day formation session for civic leadership candidates
DESCRIPTION:Two Saturday sessions\, May 29 and June 5\, 2021.   \nPope Francis has said that “Politics\, though often denigrated\, remains a lofty vocation and one of the highest forms of charity\, inasmuch as it seeks the common good.” It’s a critically important vocation\, yet in Canada\, we’ve lacked formation for Catholics discerning it.  \nWe’re excited to announce Canada’s first formation program for Catholic political candidates and elected politicians: the 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. Any Catholic seeking election to any political office or considering a run for office in the next two years can apply to join. Over the course of a two-day virtual workshop\, you’ll learn from Catholic leaders across our community. You’ll receive spiritual and moral formation\, methods of discernment\, and practical skills needed in seeking and properly holding elected office. In the end\, you’ll be equipped as a Catholic servant-leader for your constituents and fellow Canadians. Learn more on our website\, including how to apply\, by clicking here: https://catholicconscience.org/catholicleadersmission/

SUMMARY:The Beauty of Creation:  Green Thomism
DESCRIPTION:Professor Christopher Thompson of the Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity explores his new idea of Green Thomism\, which “seeks to integrate the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas with the questions of environmental stewardship\, sustainability\, and awareness… [and] interprets the signs of the times to indicate the need for a renewal of some of the most basic principles of Thomistic thought: the goodness of created things\, the purposive structure of created being\, the inescapable embodied character of human existence\, the capacity of reason to discern an order of creation which is to be respected\, the contemplative nature of human happiness… All of these claims are rooted in St. Thomas’ vision of creation\, the human person\, and God; each of them has the capacity to enliven the best of what is happening in the ever-growing movement of environmental concern.”

SUMMARY:Annual Conference: Building a Culture of Life and Dignity
DESCRIPTION:Catholic Conscience’s first annual conference on Building a Culture of Life and Dignity will be held on  Saturday\, May 30\, 2026 at De La Salle Oaklands College\, 131 Farnham Avenue\, in Toronto\, Ontario. \nThe topic of this year’s conference is Restoring the Covenant: CST as Common Social Ground. As a part of the larger series\, the conference series is intended to advance at least three separate but related purposes: \n* To advance civic conversation on the restoration of a social covenant based on shared principles and values\n* To bring together all Canadian Catholic social and civic initiatives (along with others of goodwill)\, to increase awareness and promote cooperation among them\n* To promote volunteer\, full- and part-time employment\, and fundraising possibilities for such civic initiatives \nThis conference should be of interest to all Catholics and others of goodwill who seek to improve society by re-establishing common social principles and values\, as an alternative to radical individualism and other social currents that tend to draw people apart from God and one another. We anticipate a number of relevant presentations and discussions\, including the participation of many leading Canadian Catholic voices. Side meetings and small group conversations will also be encouraged throughout the day. \nFurther information can be found at https://culturelifedignity.org/ and will be updated as details become available.
