BUILDING A CULTURE OF LIFE & DIGNITY

An Annual Conference Hosted by Catholic Conscience.


Introduction

Catholic Conscience’s next annual conference on Building a Culture of Life and Dignity will be held on  Saturday, May 30, 2026 at De La Salle Oaklands College, 131 Farnham Avenue, in Toronto, Ontario.

The topic of this year’s conference is Restoring the Covenant: CST as Common Social Ground. The conference is intended to serve at least three separate but related purposes:

  1. To advance civic conversation on the restoration of a social covenant based on shared principles and values
  2. To bring together all Canadian Catholic social and civic initiatives (along with others of goodwill), to increase awareness and promote cooperation among them
  3. To promote volunteer, full- and part-time employment, and fundraising possibilities for such civic initiatives

This conference should be of interest to all Catholics and others of goodwill who seek to improve society by re-establishing common social principles and values, as an alternative to radical individualism and other social currents that tend to draw people apart from God and one another. We anticipate a number of relevant presentations and discussions, including the participation of many leading Canadian Catholic voices. Side meetings and small group conversations will also be encouraged throughout the day.
