SUMMARY:Communicating the mission in the digital space
DESCRIPTION:Basic Communication Course for Consecrated Life\n  \nCommunication is part of God’s plan for us and an essential way to experience fellowship. Made in the image and likeness of our Creator\, we are able to express and share all that is true\, good\, and beautiful. We are able to describe our own experiences and the world around us\, and thus to create historical memory and the understanding of events. Pope Francis \nDescription\nThe human person embodies communication in his/her body and in his/ her various forms of expression. Today\, because of the many relationships that each person manages\, one can define the person as a living social network. Because of the key role that communication plays in our society\, the religious world needs to prepare consciously and appropriately to live in digital space\, learning how to “communicate the mission” in order to reach its target audience. This program is aimed primarily atthose working specifically in the field of communication. The course we offer will help participants understand what communication means today and how to use it for mission. We will open up different perspectives in order to learn how to manage digital spaces effectively and make them places of deep communion\, both for individual and institutional communication. \nWe invite all participants to read the Message of Pope Francis for the 52 World Communications Day. We will use the document during the course. \nSchedule\nFRIDAY\, March 9  \n8:30 a.m. Registration \n9:30 – 12:30 Seminar \n\nThe Church in the Digital Culture\nH. E. Mons.

SUMMARY:23rd Annual CWR Conference
DESCRIPTION:The CWR has put together a dynamic agenda of speakers and presentations along with opportunities to experience the culture of the region. The theme of the conference\, “One Voice\, Charged by the Current”\, reflects one of the world’s greatest sources of hydroelectric power\, the Niagara River\, as well as the strength of our collective message in advancing the mission and image of Catholic Sisters. \nRegistration\nBrochure\nDownload the brochure\n \nRegistration Form\nFull package \nDownload the registration form \nNEW\n1 day package \nDownload the registration form \nPresentations\nCatholic Social Teaching and Communications\nMoira McQueen\, LLB\, MDiv\, PhD\n\nDr. Moira McQueen will describe how the Magisterium communications office is organized and the strategies used to communicate Church teaching worldwide. Pope Francis’ more informal communications style has tended to intrigue the general public. She explores why people are more interested in what he has to say and what we can take away from the Pope’s method. Dr. Moira McQueen has a degree in law from the University of Glasgow\, Scotland. She earned a Master of Divinity and a PhD in moral theology from the Faculty of Theology\, University of St. Michael’s College and the Toronto School of Theology. She has been teaching moral theology at the Faculty of Theology since 1994\, and has written and co-authored several articles in bioethics\, fundamental ethics and other areas. \nUsing Social Media to Inspire Millennials and Gen Z\nHeather Mansfield\n\nMillennials came of age using social media\, first on a laptop\, then on a smartphone. Gen Z is mobile first\, mobile only\, and the driving force behind a growing App economy. To reach either generation\, your organization must be adept at both social and mobile communications. With a focus on Instagram and Snapchat\, Heather Mansfield will highlight how each generation uses social media and will provide detailed how-to tips and best practices. Heather is the founder of the Nonprofit Tech for Good blog and author of the books “Mobile for Good” and “Social Media for Social Good.” \nProphetic Imagination and the Ethics of Communication\nSister Nuala Kenny\, OC\, BA\, MD\, FRCP(C)\n\nReligious life is a prophetic lifeform committed to bringing the “good news” of the Gospel of justice\, peace and mercy to the world. The range and diversity of media conveying news of all types today\, in a world of blogs and “alternative facts\,” is both astonishing and terrifying. Sister Nuala Kenny will discuss the advantages and challenges of modern communication in proclaiming the unique message of women religious. Dr. Nuala Patricia Kenny was born in New York and entered the Sisters of Charity of Halifax in 1962. Dr. Kenny is nationally recognized as an educator and physician ethicist. Her latest book is “The Art of Dying and the Paschal Mystery: A Compassionate Vision of End of Life Care.” \nA Practical Guide to Copyrights\nBlayne Haggart\n\nCopyright law has a daunting reputation. Unfortunately\, in an era of digital communication\, understanding copyright has become a necessity. Blayne Haggart will offer an introduction to copyright\, including its purpose and objectives\, and will suggest approaches to dealing with copyright issues as they relate to communications for women religious. Blayne is an associate professor of political science at Brock University in St. Catharines\, Ontario. His book\, “Copyfight: The Global Politics of Digital Copyright Reform\,” was published in 2014 by University of Toronto Press. \nCommunicating to a Divided Audience\nPeter Panepento\n\nWe are living in a world marked by deep political and philosophical divisions. It is increasingly difficult to create messages that span the divide. Peter Panepento will describe the tools communicators need to develop messaging strategies that appeal to a wider range of audiences. Peter is the principal of Turn Two Communications\, a strategic communications\, content\, and PR consultancy that specializes in helping nonprofits and foundations tell their stories more effectively. Before launching the practice\, Peter spent more than a decade as a contributing writer and editor at “The Chronicle of Philanthropy.” \nCreating a Culture of Effective Communication\nLoyola Institute for Ministry and Salt+Light\n\nThe Loyola Institute for Ministry recently completed a project entitled “Communicating Charism: Educating for Leadership and Social Media Capacity in Communities of Women Religious\,” which was funded by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation. Loyola representatives\, Fr. Tom Rosica from Salt+Light TV\, and women religious project participants from the U.S.\, Africa\, and Asia will share what they learned in the process. \nWho I’ve Met and What I’ve Learned\nSister Susan Doubet\, OSB\n\nSister Susan Doubet\, OSB\, will share the ins and outs of working for more than 10 years with Sister Joan Chittister\, OSB\, international lecturer and author of 50 books. She will share how she has “survived” this communications ministry on the local\, national and international scenes. Sister Susan is the subprioress of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie\, Pennsylvania. For the past 10 years\, she has worked as a research assistant to Sister Joan Chittister\, OSB. She also writes a twice weekly blog\, “Light Through Stained Glass Windows.” \nSpirituality of Communications\nSister Kateri Mitchell\, SSA\n\nSister Kateri Mitchell invites us to experience the heartbeat of God in a verbal and non-verbal society\, creation and world. The quality of our lives and spoken words can be a source of giving life to others we encounter. Ask yourself: Is my heartbeat in tune with the multi-cultural world in which I live: different age groups\, races\, religions\, diverse cultures and languages? Sister Kateri\, a Sister of St. Anne\, is the executive director of the Tekakwitha Conference\, an international non-profit organization for evangelization among Native American Catholics. She was born and raised on the International St. Regis Mohawk Reservation (Akwesasne). \nSchedule\nTuesday\, October 3\n4–6 p.m. — Registration\n5:30 p.m. — Orientation\n7:00 p.m. — Welcome Reception: Myst Lounge (34th Floor) \nWednesday\, October 4\nExhibits available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  \n7:15 a.m. — Breakfast/Visit Exhibitors\n8 a.m. — Welcome/Opening Ritual with Bishop Gerard Bergie\n8:45 a.m. — Catholic Social Teaching and Communications — Moira McQueen\, LLB\, MDiv\, PhD\n10 a.m. – Break\n10:30 a.m. — Using Social Media to Inspire Millennials and Gen Z — Heather Mansfield\n12:30 p.m. — Lunch/Visit Exhibitors\n2 p.m. — Prophetic Imagination and the Ethics of Communication — Sister Nuala Kenny\, OC\, BA\, MD\, FRCP(C)\n3 p.m. – Break/Visit Exhibitors\n3:30 p.m. – Prophetic Imagination continued\n4 p.m. – Break\n4:15 p.m. — Depart for optional evening out (MacKenzie Printery and Newspaper Museum\, Laura Secord Homestead\, dinner at the Old Winery Restaurant\, Niagara-on-the-Lake) \nThursday\, October 5\nExhibits available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  \n7:30 a.m. — Breakfast/Visit Exhibitors\n8:15 a.m. — Prayer\n8:30 a.m. — A Practical Guide to Copyrights — Blayne Haggart\n9:45 a.m. – Break/Visit Exhibitors\n10:15 a.m. — State of the Organization\nAngela Szczawinska\, CSFN\, CWR Chair\, and Nicholas Schafer\, CWR Executive Director\n11:30 a.m. – Lunch/Visit Exhibitors\n1 p.m. — Communicating to a Divided Audience — Peter Panepento\n2 p.m. Break/Visit Exhibitors\n2:30 p.m. – Communicating continued\n3:15 p.m. — Creating a Culture of Effective Communication — Loyola Institute for Ministry and Salt+Light TV\n4 p.m. Close of day; evening on your own or optional evening out (“Saint Joan” at the Shaw Festival\, Niagara-on-the-Lake) \nFriday\, October 6\n7:30 a.m. — Breakfast\n8 a.m. — Who I’ve Met and What I’ve Learned on the National and International Stage – Sister Susan Doubet\, OSB\n9 a.m. — CWR Business Meeting\n10 a.m. – Break\n10:30 a.m. — Spirituality of Communication — Sister Kateri Mitchell\, SSA\n11:30 a.m. — Closing \nEvenings out\nWednesday\, October 4\nMackenzie Printery and Newspaper Museum\, Laura Secord Homestead\, and dinner at the Old Winery Restaurant\, Niagara-on-the-Lake. \n\nVisit the restored home of rebel publisher William Lyon Mackenzie and experience 500 years of printing technology including the Louis Roy Press\, the oldest in Canada and one of the few original wooden presses remaining in the world!

At its center is the most remarkable teenage girl in history. But who is she? The divinely-inspired saviour of France? A dangerously clever charlatan? Or a pathetically deluded country girl? It all depends on your point of view. Whatever she is\, eventually Joan is bound to become an embarrassment to the male-dominated world she has turned upside-down. And then what? Dinner on your own before the show. (The play runs two hours and 45 minutes. We will return to the hotel at approximately 11:30 p.m.). \nConference Fees (US$)\n\nCWR member EARLY registration received by July 15: $475\nCWR member registration received after July 15: $525\nNon-member EARLY registration received by July 15: $550\nNon-member registration received after July 15: $600\n\nOPTIONAL EVENING ACTIVITIES \n\nWednesday\, Oct. 4: Mackenzie Printery/Laura Secord: $75\nThursday\, Oct. 5: Saint Joan — register by Aug. 15: $60\n\nAbout the CWR\nCommunicators for Women Religious (formerly the National Communicators Network for Women Religious) is a professional organization of personnel responsible for communications within religious congregations of women.

SUMMARY:Jesuit Canadian Canoe Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:The Pilgrimage\nThe Canadian Canoe Pilgrimage 2017 is a project of the Jesuits in English Canada\, that wishes to promote reconciliation between the First Nations\, French and English peoples of Canada. \nThe Journey\nA historic canoe voyage undertaken by Samuel de Champlain and St. Jean de Brébeuf in the care of their First Nations guides \n\nDuring the last five years\, Canada has been engaged in uncovering the tragic history of residential schools through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission\nThe goal of the pilgrimage is to promote a deeper intercultural dialogue and understanding\nThe pilgrimage will occur during the year-long celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of confederation\n\nThe Route\nThis canoe route was first used by the various Aboriginal peoples who showed it to the early French missionaries and explorers. \nThe paddlers will begin the pilgrimage at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons in Midland\, Ontario on July 20\, 2017 at the historical site of the Jesuit mission to the Wendat First Nation dating back to 1638. The voyage will follow the shores of Georgian Bay to the French River\, which will then move along the French River to Lake Nipissing. From Lake Nipissing\, the pilgrimage will proceed along the Mattawa River to the Ottawa River. Paddlers will then travel down the Ottawa River to the St. Lawrence River and to their final destination in Montreal on August 15\, 2017. \nThe Paddlers\nThe paddlers will consist of Jesuits from both the French and English Provinces as well as First Nations Peoples and Jesuit collaborators. \nThe group of core paddlers will be expanded through an open invitation to people to join the paddlers at various key sites such as the French River Provincial Park\, North Bay\, the town of Mattawa\, and Ottawa. By including representatives of French and English Canada and the First Nations\, this pilgrimage will echo the original route made by St. Jean de Brébeuf and other Jesuits alongside the First Nations and Voyageurs in Canada’s formative years. After reaching the French River\, supply vehicles will follow the pilgrims to resupply and provide support. It is at this point that others will be invited to join the pilgrimage. \nIndigenous Ministries\n\nFor more than 165 years\, Canadian Jesuits have been living and working continuously with the Ojibway\, Odawa\, and Potawatomi Nations mostly in Northern Ontario around Manitoulin Island and Thunder Bay. Seeking God’s presence in the lives of the Indigenous Peoples reinforces the belief that Indigenous cultural values are not only worth preserving\, they must be celebrated and that all efforts possible be made to incorporate them into the broader Canadian context. Important then\, is the attitude that the Jesuits be attentive to the gifts\, the culture\, and the spiritual hungers of the First Nations peoples. \nThe Jesuits endeavour to share these gifts with those who prepare for local spiritual leadership and with those who gather to listen to the Gospel of Jesus Christ\, tell their stories\, and break bread in the Eucharist. The Spirit and Faith that animate this work justly reach into the needs of the communities\, their internal struggles\, and into the realities of the larger society that favours working with those living on the margins. \nDuring the last five years\, Canada has been engaged in uncovering the tragic history of the residential schools through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Commission published 94 Calls to Action\, “in order to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of Canadian reconciliation.” (TRC Calls to Action) The Jesuits\, acknowledging their role in the residential school in Spanish\, Ontario\, are committed to the healing and reconciliation process. The Jesuits were given the opportunity to read our Statement of Reconciliation at the TRC National Event in Montreal in April 2013. \nThe Website\nhttp://canoepilgrimage.com

SUMMARY:National JPIC Gathering 2017 - June 6-8
DESCRIPTION:“Even as the quality of available water is constantly diminishing\, in some places there is a growing tendency\, despite its scarcity\, to privatize this resource\, turning it into a commodity subject to the laws of the market. Yet access to safe drinkable water is a basic and universal human right\, since it is essential to human survival and\, as such\, is a condition for the exercise of other human rights.” \nSPEAKERS\nELDER JOSEPHINE MANDAMIN Ojibwe Grandmother and Water Walker\n  \nMAUDE BARLOW Chairperson Council of Canadians\nREGISTRATION\nREGISTRATION FORM\n  \nACCOMODATION FORM\nPlease save the forms on your computer\, complete and send them by e-mail to Nathalie Gauthier: ngauthier@crc-canada.org \nCOST\n$195 (by May 1st)\n$230 (after May 1st) \nPayment by cheque: make cheques payable to “CRC”. \nRSVP \nNathalie Gauthier\nngauthier@crc-canada.org\n514 259-0856 Ext. 107 \nPOSTER\nTo download\, print and share the poster\, click the picture below: \n \nSCHEDULE\nJUNE 6\n\n7:00 PM Acknowledgment\n7:05 PM Smudge ceremony\n7:45 PM Welcome\n8:15 PM Social Welcome event\n\nJUNE 7\n\n9:00 AM Opening\n9:10 AM Sacred Water (Elder Josephine Mandamin)\n1:30 PM Group Reflexion\n2:00 PM Panel with Ecologos\, Kairos and Development and Peace\n3:05 PM Break-out Discussions\n3:35 PM Dialogue with Elder Josephine Mandamin\n4:30 PM End\n7:00 PM Evening social\n\nJUNE 8\n\n9:00 AM Morning prayer\n9:20 AM Sacred Water Advocacy (Maude Barlow)\n10:40 AM Break-out Discussions\n1:30 PM Input by Maude Barlow\n2:45 PM Possible Actions\n3:00 PM Closing ritual\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nElder Josephine Mandamin\nElder Josephine Mandamin\, Initiator of the Mother Earth Water Walks\, has taken to heart the responsibility to care for the water. Since 2003\, she has lead Water Walks around the five Great Lakes\, and several other lakes and rivers\, including the St. Lawrence River. Always she does so to communicate respect for the water and to challenge the human activity that pollutes the water and puts it at risk. On one of the walks she said: “I’ve been called here to respect her\, to pray for her\, to sing for her\, give thanks to her\, to respect her in all that she is.” She firmly believes that women\, as life-givers\, have a special responsibility to protect the water as sacred\, as the “lifeblood of Mother Earth.” \nJosephine\, very humbly carries a copper pail of water on all the walks as she offers tobacco\, prays\, sings\, does ceremonies and educates others to take personal and political action to protect the life-giving waters of our earth mother. \nThe Anishinabek Nation has named her Chair of the Women’s Council for its forty First Nation members across much of Ontario. \n She will offer us her teachings\, share her story with us and invite us into prayer and/or ceremony. \nFor more information\, visit www.motherearthwaterwalk.com. \nMaude Barlow \nMaude Barlow is the National Chairperson of the Council of Canadians and chairs the board of Washington-based Food and Water Watch. She is a board member of the San Francisco–based International Forum on Globalization and a Councillor with the Hamburg-based World Future Council. \nMaude is the recipient of fourteen honorary doctorates as well as many awards\, including the 2005 Right Livelihood Award (known as the “Alternative Nobel”)\, the 2005 Lannan Foundation Cultural Freedom Fellowship Award\, the Citation of Lifetime Achievement at the 2008 Canadian Environment Awards\, the 2009 Earth Day Canada Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award\, the 2009 Planet in Focus Eco Hero Award\, and the 2011 EarthCare Award\, the highest international honour of the Sierra Club (US). \nIn 2008/2009\, she served as Senior Advisor on Water to the 63rd President of the United Nations General Assembly and was a leader in the campaign to have water recognized as a human right by the UN. She is also the author of dozens of reports\, as well as 18 books\, including\, Blue Future: Protecting Water For People And The Planet Forever and her latest Boiling Point: Government Neglect\, Corporate Abuse\, and Canada’s Water Crisis.

SUMMARY:Green Churches Forum 2017
DESCRIPTION:A Christian ecological event!\nThe next Green Churches Forum will be held on May 11 at Saint Paul University in Ottawa. The theme of our Forum is “Celebrating the Spirit of Creation”. We want to celebrate in conjunction with the celebrations taking place throughout the National Capital for Canada’s 150th anniversary. As believers we see Creation manifested in abundance in our home and native land. This event will be like a thanksgiving for the beauty and greatness of God’s work from coast to coast to coast. \nCatherine McKenna\nThe Honorable Catherine McKenna\, Canada’s Minister of Environment and Climate Change will show her support to Canadian churches of all denominations as spiritual and moral leaders in their efforts to reduce their ecological footprint. She will say a few words at the opening of the Forum and will be on hand to meet and exchange with participants. \nRev. Mark MacDonald\nThe opening conference by indigenous bishop Mark MacDonald will be followed by workshops on topics related to spirituality\, education and action. During the break for a “green” lunch\, it will be possible to visit the kiosks of various ecological organizations that work as stewards of Creation. Other workshops will be presented after lunch\, and the day will end with a beautiful ecumenical celebration. \nThis fourth Forum organized by the Green Churches Network follows those held in Montreal (2010)\, Drummondville (2012) and Quebec City (2015). Begun in 2006 in Montreal\, the Green Churches Network presently numbers more than 60 churches of various denominations. As the mission of the organization covers Canada in its entirety\, the National Capital is the best choice for a meeting site in this anniversary year. \nSchedule\n08:30   Welcome & Registration\n09:00   Introduction\n09:30   Keynote : Bishop Mark L.
