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 Diocese of Victoria Health Care Committee is offering its next series of online Pastoral Care Outreach Training sessions starting this month. These free sessions will be held via Zoom on Saturday mornings from 9:30 – noon, starting on September 28 and running until November 30, 2024 (with no session on October 12 for Thanksgiving). This training will allow participants to learn more about deep listening and visiting the lonely, sick, injured, elderly, and dying – in hospitals, seniors’ residences, extended health care facilities, and at their homes. The sessions are also offered for those who wish to learn how to accompany and care for their loved ones, friends, and neighbours, or as a personal undertaking. Please register through your parish by September 17, 2024.
2) The 7th annual Beloved Catholic Women's Retreat will be Nov 15-17 2024 at Camp Homewood, Quadra Island. Registration is full but waitlist spots are available.
