This year’s theme for Saint-Boniface’s Diocesan Study Days is Sexuality and Identity: Catholic Pastoral Accompaniment. Listen to presentations by:
- Fr. Kevin Belgrave, professor at St. Augustine Seminary in Toronto who teaches on bioethics, foundations of moral theology, human sexuality, and Catholic social teachings. He’ll be speaking to us about the Catholic anthropology of human sexuality.
- Dr. Julia Sadusky, clinical psychiatrist from Colorado who offers individual, family, and couples therapy in addition to consultations for individuals and families around sexuality and gender, and author of Start Talking to Your Kids about Sex: A Practical Guide for Catholics and Talking with Your Teen about Sex: A Practical Guide for Catholics.
- Deacon Gilles Urquhart, permanent deacon for the Archdiocese of Saint-Boniface and chaplain for Courage, which offers pastoral support in the form of spiritual guidance, community prayer support, and fellowship for those who experience same-sex attraction. He is also chaplain for EnCourage, an apostolate that helps its members work together to understand the experiences of their loved ones, and to respond to them with compassion.
- Bob Hall, a member of Courage since 1992, who will share his testimony of how Courage has helped him find faith, love, and community.
The presentations will be in English, with French simultaneous translation available for those who need it. There will be French and English small group discussions after each presentation, and opportunities for Q&A with the various speakers.
Come either Thursday Oct 23, or Saturday Oct 25, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, at Saint-Boniface Cathedral Hall, 180 ave de la Cathédrale, Winnipeg. The same message will be shared each day.
There is a $70 admission fee. Registration is required.
