Program

 

Thank you for your interest in the upcoming Anglicanorum Coetibus conference in the Archdiocese of Toronto. A program committee is working to finalize details for our March 24-26 conference. Our plan is to provide more complete information in this space by February 11, 2011.

Update - February 18, 2011
Please note that as of February 18, 2011, overnight accommodation at Queen of Apostles has been filled to capacity. The Archdiocese has reserved a block of rooms at the Admiral Inn, 6 km from the Retreat Centre for guests that still require overnight arrangements. Click here for more information regarding these arrangements.

We apologize for the delay in providing additional details on the conference program. We have some exciting additions to the conference that will be announced shortly. Due to these changes, we are still finalizing details regarding the schedule and hope to have a further update available by February 18. Thank you for your patience.

We are pleased to announce that Father Aidan Nichols, O.P. has agreed to join us as a keynote speaker for the conference. Scroll to the bottom of this page for more information on Father Nichols and the tremendous experience he will bring to our gathering.

In the interim, we recognize that many are looking to make travel plans and wish to have details around timing especially the beginning/ending of the conference to make arrangements as appropriate.
