Diocesan PWRDF Lenten Project / Decolonizing Fundraising
/
With each new discovery of unmarked graves and stories heard, we have become more aware of what it means to recognize past horrors and work towards reconciliation with Indigenous peoples in this land. We are also learning what it means, for most of us in this diocese to be settlers and implicated in colonialism and ways we continue to perpetuate it. PWRDF has developed a program to help break this cycle: the Indigenous Responsive Grants. The PWRDF Montreal unit chose this as our 2022-2023 Diocesan PWRDF project as a way of doing something important together. We would like to encourage individuals and parishes/ministries to consider using Lent as a time to raise awareness and funds. Read more here et ici. Flyer Eng. Flyer French. Poster French.

Dio offers Intensive course focused on French-language skills for Christian ministry Spring 2023
/
This course is centered around enhancing French linguistic and communication skills for pastoral contexts. This includes grammar revision, the sharing of French resources such as church and biblical vocabulary, preparation of prayers, and role playing pastoral care situations. Participants may take this course as part of the Certificate in Bilingual Ministry or as a stand-alone continuing education course. At the end of the week, there is an oral and written test leading to the Certificate in Bilingual Ministry for those enrolled in the certificate program.
All applicants should take a French level test (oral and written) during the academic year in order to confirm their language skills (intermediate, at least) or to discuss with our French teacher the best way to prepare for the intensive week if they do not yet have the required level.

What to Expect: A morning conference including croissants and coffee followed by a worship service at Christ Church Cathedral.
Pick up Choir Notice: Calling all Singers! Everyone is invited to join the choir for the BHM celebration. We will be leading the congregation in singing a variety of music from African and African diaspora traditions, including some selections from the new Anglican Church hymnal "Sing a New Creation". All of the music is easy to learn. Come to the Cathedral at 10:00 am for a rehearsal on the day of the event.
About: This fourth annual celebration of Black Heritage will be an opportunity for the whole diocese to come together for racial healing and love and to celebrate the dignity of every human being. We will gather in worship at 11:00 am to celebrate:
Black Diversity
Black Culture
Black Voices
Black Brilliance
Black beauty
and music!
The service will be preceded by Coffee, Croissants and Conference in Fulford at 9.30: This panel discussion will be an opportunity to explore what a post-colonial world would look like. To reflect on the past, present and future and how our churches can better reach out and support our neighbours. A chance for black people to share thoughts and stories and for white people to listen. Only by learning from and celebrating each other will we be freed to move into a more loving, life-giving and just future.

Cette quatrième célébration annuelle de l'héritage noir sera l'occasion pour tout le diocèse de se rassembler pour la guérison raciale et l'amour et de célébrer la dignité de chaque être humain. Nous nous réunirons dans le cadre du culte à 11h00 pour célébrer :
la diversité noire
la culture noire
les voix noires
L'éclat des Noirs
la beauté noire
et la musique !
Le service sera précédé d'un café, de croissants et d'une conférence à Fulford à 9h30 : Cette discussion sera l'occasion d'explorer ce à quoi ressemblerait un monde post-colonial. Nous réfléchirons au passé, au présent et à l'avenir et à la manière dont nos églises peuvent mieux atteindre et soutenir nos voisins. Une occasion pour les Noirs de partager leurs pensées et leurs histoires et pour les Blancs d'écouter. Ce n'est qu'en apprenant les uns des autres et en nous célébrant mutuellement que nous serons libres d'avancer vers un avenir plus aimant, plus vivifiant et plus juste.
Le diocèse de Montréal, le groupe de travail sur la lutte contre le racisme et la cathédrale Christ Church vous invitent à une célébration du patrimoine noir le 18 février de 9 h à 12 h 30.
