Presenting Sponsor
Diocese of Hamilton
The Presenting Sponsor is the leading partner in helping to make Journey of Encounter: Pilgrims of Hope Embracing Synodality a reality. The Presenting Sponsor shares a vision for bringing together diverse voices from across the country to share the experience of synodality.
Conversations in the Spirit Sponsorship
Sisters of St. Joseph in Canada
Conversation circles using the method modeled in Rome require facilitators and recorders. In addition, each circle conversation is preceded by inspiring personal stories of examples of the themes being addressed. The Conversations in the Spirit Sponsor allows us to support all the critical elements of the circle conversations.
Retreat Sponsorship
Jesuits in Canada
As with the Synod in Rome, our gathering will begin with a retreat experience. The retreat will cultivate an interior space that opens our hearts to deep listening in the days ahead. The Retreat Sponsor helps cover the costs associated with this part of the gathering.
Indigenous Encounter/Indigenous Voices
Sisters of St Martha (PEI)
Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto
Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul
Missionary Oblates oof Mary Immaculate, OMI Lacombe Canada
As a Canadian church, we have much to learn from our Indigenous brothers and sisters. As part of our listening, we are committed to bringing Indigenous voices fully into the conversation. The Indigenous encounter/Indigenous Voices sponsors help us make this possible.
Pilgrims of Hope Event Sponsors
Franciscans of Canada
Ursuline Religious of the Diocese of London
By being an event sponsor, you make it possible for us to ensure that funds go to areas that are most needed. Promoting the synodal vision is a value these sponsors share.
Reception Sponsor
Loretto Sisters (Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary)
A reception after the Guest Presentation will take place to allow attendees, speakers, Steering Committee members, Special Advisers, and invited guests, to come together in a spirit of gratitude and celebration.
