Our Bishop Listens
This spring, Bishop Victor-David will be meeting with youth groups across the diocese to better understand their interests, hopes, and needs for ongoing spiritual formation.
Through these conversations, we aim to enrich and shape Diocesan youth ministry by developing meaningful events and providing continued support that reflects the voices of young people.
Our Bishop is deeply committed to youth and has made it a priority to listen attentively to their experiences. By visiting parishes and engaging directly with youth, he hopes to better understand their hopes, dreams, and challenges.
To complement these efforts, support for the Diocesan Youth Fund will help bring these insights to life by funding ministry initiatives inspired by what we hear. More information about these initiatives will be shared in 2027.
The Upcoming Bishop’s Spring Dinner is raising funds specifically for this reason.
You may purchase tickets or donate to the cause here
At present, two gathering dates have been scheduled:
Sunday, May 17, 2026 – Christ Church Cathedral, downtown Montreal
Friday, May 22, 2026 – All Saints by the Lake, Dorval (West Island)
All young people aged 12–18 are strongly encouraged to participate, share their voices, and be heard. Contact us if you would like to be a part of either one of these listening circles or would like to learn more
OR Youth may submit their replies to the Bishop by completing the Digital Listening survey here
Notre évêque a l’écoute
À travers ces échanges, nous souhaitons enrichir et façonner la pastorale des jeunes du diocèse en organisant des événements porteurs de sens et en apportant un soutien continu qui reflète les aspirations des jeunes.
Notre évêque est profondément engagé auprès des jeunes et s’est fixé comme priorité d’écouter attentivement leurs expériences. En se rendant dans les paroisses et en dialoguant directement avec les jeunes, il espère mieux comprendre leurs espoirs, leurs rêves et leurs défis.
Pour compléter ces efforts, le soutien apporté au Fonds diocésain pour la jeunesse contribuera à concrétiser ces idées en finançant des initiatives pastorales inspirées par ce que nous entendons. De plus amples informations sur ces initiatives seront communiquées en 2027.
Le prochain dîner printanier de l’évêque vise précisément à collecter des fonds à cette fin.
Vous pouvez acheter des billets ou faire un don à cette cause ici
À l’heure actuelle, deux dates de rassemblement ont été fixées :
Dimanche 17 mai 2026 – Cathédrale Christ Church, centre-ville de Montréal
Vendredi 22 mai 2026 – All Saints by the Lake, Dorval (Ouest-de-l’Île)
Tous les jeunes âgés de 12 à 18 ans sont vivement encouragés à participer, à faire entendre leur voix et à se faire entendre. Contactez-nous si vous souhaitez participer à l’un de ces cercles d’écoute ou si vous souhaitez en savoir plus

The Synod Office is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), at a place called Tio’tia:ke (Montreal), a meeting place for many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee (Six Nation Confederacy), Anishinabeg and Algonquin peoples.
We recognize and respect the Kanien’keha:ka as the traditional stewards of the land and waters of Tio’tia:ke.
Our acknowledgement stands as a promise to continue the ongoing work of recognition and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
