About the Symposium
A one-day symposium on the theology of the priesthood organized by the Centre de Recherche et d’Anthropologie des Vocations, the Thomistic Institute, the Institute for Human Ecology, and Theological College.
This symposium aims to find the horizon of the priesthood in its two forms of participation, baptismal and ministerial, and to elaborate the dignity and complementarity of each sacramental vocation (marriage, ministerial priesthood, consecrated life) within civil society and in its service.
This event is free and open to the public. Please register in advance below. Travel, meals, and lodging are not provided by the sponsoring organizations.
