News from the Chancery is published each week to share information and upcoming events with the people of the Diocese of Victoria.
We have two items to share with you today:
1) The deadline to nominate a recipient for the 2025 Char Deslippe Award is coming up on July 15, 2025. Parish and school communities across the Diocese of Victoria are encouraged to submit the names of outstanding teachers or parish catechists for consideration; the award will be presented at a future Diocesan event.

2) Grief to Grace is a Christ-centred retreat program led by mental health professionals that offers healing for those who have experienced abuse or neglect in any area of life. The next Canadian retreat will take place in Kelowna in late October 2025. For more information, please email grieftogracekelowna@gmail.com or call 250-808-6403 confidentially.
