Practical (and non-partisan) advice for effective membership will be discussed. \nPanelists include: \n\nJo-Ann Davis\, former TCDSB chair and 2018 Liberal MPP Candidate for University-Rosedale\nBrendan Steven\, former speechwriter for Conservative Finance Minister Joe Oliver\nDave Szollosy\, former president OECTA\, and 2018 NDP MPP candidate for York Simcoe\nNick Wright\, member of the Governing Board of the Law Society of Ontario and 2014\, 2015 Green Party candidate\n\nThis is one part of a multi-part series by Catholic Conscience and the Newman Centre on Catholic civic participation\, in the lead-up to this year’s federal election. \nThis event is free and open to everyone. No tickets are required. \nRSVP/Registration to our event via Eventbrite will help us in planning.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Pick Your Politican
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the enormous political impact you can have when you buy a party membership and vote in your local candidate nomination process. \nWHY CATHOLICS SHOULD VOTE IN PARTY NOMINATIONS \nOnly 4% of Canadians are members of political parties. That’s only four out of every 100 of us. That tiny number enjoy a special privilege: voting in political party nominations and selecting who will represent their party in each general election. Many of these nominated candidates eventually become our elected representatives. It matters who represents us. That’s why it’s so important Catholics purchase party memberships and vote in nominations. \nHear from former and current Catholic candidates from different parties about why nominations matter\, and how you can get involved and pick your politicians. \nFeaturing a special introduction from Neil MacCarthy\, Director of Public Relations & Communications at the Archdiocese of Toronto. \nRSVP AT: \nhttps://nominationsmatter.eventbrite.ca \nFree tickets are limited. RSVP for the link and login details.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Voting Like A Catholic
DESCRIPTION:“If you vote for a certain political party\, you’ll go to hell.” \n“I can’t vote because there’s no truly Catholic option.” \nThese are just two common myths about voting as a Catholic. What does the Church teach us about our responsibility to vote? And how do we discern our consciences and choose who to vote for? In this webinar\, we interview Catholic author and theologian Dr. Brett Salkeld on how to truly vote like a Catholic. \nMeet our guest: Brett Salkeld is Archdiocesan Theologian for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina\, where he is responsible for deacon formation. Brett is the author of Can Catholics and Evangelicals Agree about Purgatory and the Last Judgment? and How Far Can We Go? A Catholic Guide to Sex and Dating (with Leah Perrault). He is currently working on a book for Catholic teachers tentatively titled Making Every Class Catholic. \nBrett is a sought-after speaker on many topics related to the Catholic faith. He also serves the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops as a member of the Roman Catholic-Evangelical Dialogue in Canada. His weekly podcast with Deacon Eric Gurash is called Thinking Faith! Brett has a large back catalogue of blog posts at both Vox Nova and sAsk-a-theologian. \nBrett was baptized in St. Wenceslaus Parish in Gerald\, Saskatchewan\, where he grew up. He now lives with his wife Flannery and their six children in Regina. \nRSVP AT: \nhttps://votinglikeacatholic.eventbrite.ca \nFree tickets are limited. RSVP for the link and login details.

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:Rosary Novena for the People of Canada
DESCRIPTION:As Catholics\, we are called to “seek the welfare of the city\,” in the words of the Book of Jeremiah. We are\, after all\, citizens of two nations: this earthly country Canada\, this place and people we all love\, and the heavenly Kingdom of God. Let’s come together to praise the Lord of both these nations and to call on the intercession of the heavenly Kingdom for the needs of our earthly nation. \nJoin Canadians from coast to coast as we gather for a nine-day rosary novena to pray for the people of Canada\, each of us discerning our own consciences in preparation to vote for our next government during the 2021 federal election. We will pray for all Canadians\, and for guidance in choosing leaders who will provide practical and efficient leadership with the good of all in mind – including the unborn\, the elderly\, the young\, families\, and those who are too often forgotten by society – as well as workers\, farmers\, business owners\, and all future generations.

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.”
