SUMMARY:Saint Gregory the Great Institute: Renewing Culture Conference - Bringing Back Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Compulsive scrolling\, the 24-hour news cycle\, utilitarian education\, and rising anxieties—all symptoms of a society that has forgotten how to experience transcendence within time\, has forgotten how to live the Sabbath. \n“Sunday\,” observed St. Jerome\, “is our day.” Pope St. John Paul II promoted it as the day “at the very heart of the Christian life.” But how do we protect it? How do we joyfully live it? \nJoin the Gregory the Great Institute for this year’s Annual Renewing Culture Conference\, Bringing Back Sunday\, as we explore the path to cultural renewal through the lens of Josef Pieper’s masterpiece\, Leisure: The Basis of Culture. Pieper’s central claim is that “Culture depends for its very existence upon leisure\, and leisure\, in its turn\, is not possible unless it has a…living link with the cultus\, with divine worship.” \nThrough lectures\, liturgy\, and festive hospitality\, we will dive into the practical restoration of the Sabbath to explore questions such as: How does contemplation nourish faith\, and how do we confidently live the liturgy within our homes? How can noble art and classic literature order us toward eternity\, and how does the Sabbath foster liberal education and political wisdom? \nWhether you are a student or professional seeking intellectual depth or a parent building a domestic church\, this weekend conference is designed to equip participants to become leaders in renewing culture and to embrace the spirituality of what the Church Fathers called the “eighth day”. \nEvent Details & Registration\nDates: Friday evening\, October 2 – Saturday evening\, October 3\, 2026 \nLocation: Mt. Carmel Spirituality Centre\, northwest of Edmonton\, AB \nIncludes: Saturday lunch\, refreshments\, conference materials\, and an opening wine-and-cheese social. (Optional additional Saturday Banquet – limited seating) \nAccommodations are not included. Limited rooms are available at the Retreat Centre\, which can be booked directly by emailing events@mountcarmeledmonton.ca or calling 780-963-0896. \nThere are also hotels nearby in Stony Plain and Spruce Grove. \nTicket Price: $125 (Special pricing available for couples\, students\, seminarians\, and clergy; contact info@gregorythegreat.ca if you need a discount).

SUMMARY:Theopolis: Inaugural Gaudí Lecture with Jonathan Pageau
DESCRIPTION:Theopolis is excited to present the inaugural Gaudí Lecture\, featuring renowned liturgical artist\, writer\, and speaker Jonathan Pageau. \nThe notion of “art for art’s sake” continues to pervade contemporary thinking and practice in the arts. Art is understood as autonomous\, liberated from its connection to worship\, culture\, morality\, truth\, or beauty\, or reduced to a commodity valued primarily for its price and prestige. In either case\, art risks becoming detached from the larger human story. \nIn this lecture\, Pageau will argue that the response of the Christian imagination is not simply to reunite art with religious content by depicting biblical scenes or communicating moral messages. Rather\, liturgy and sacramentality must be recovered as the internal and coherent driving force of the arts themselves\, shaping their forms and their application within the Body of Christ. \n\n\n\nAbout Jonathan Pageau \n\n\nJonathan Pageau is a renowned liturgical artist\, writer\, and public speaker whose work explores symbolism\, religion\, art\, literature\, and culture. \nThrough his carvings\, writing\, lectures\, and The Symbolic World\, Pageau has helped a wide audience recover a symbolic vision of the world\, one in which spiritual meaning is revealed through images\, stories\, rituals\, and the patterns of everyday life. Drawing deeply from the Christian tradition\, his work offers a compelling way of engaging many of the central questions facing contemporary culture. \nTheopolis is honoured to welcome Jonathan Pageau to Toronto to deliver the inaugural Gaudí Lecture.

SUMMARY:Catholic Praxis: SYNERGY 2026 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Many Catholic organizations currently operate in silos\, even though they serve\noverlapping populations. This conference marks a first step toward breaking\ndown those silos\, encouraging dialogue\, and identifying opportunities for joint\naction. \nThe goal is not to stretch already limited resources further. In our sectors\nwhere the focus is on care\, dignity\, and justice\, trying to do more with less can\ncompromise the very people we aim to support. Instead\, we are embracing the\nidea of doing more together: building stronger relationships\, fostering\ncollaborative projects\, and creating opportunities that amplify our impact\nwithout sacrificing quality or compassion
