JOYFUL, INFORMED, & CONNECTED WITNESS

The Saint Monica Institute for Education and Evangelization was founded by Archbishop Thomas Cardinal Collins to provide formation, support communities, and discussion venues for policy consideration for Catholics called to witness in education, parish life, family life, and the public square.

In conjunction with partners inside and outside the Archdiocese of Toronto, we are preparing and have begun to offer courses, workshops, certificate programs, retreats, and roundtable discussions for Catholics in all walks of life. We hope to greet you wherever you are, share whatever formation will help you best, and send you back into the world with the knowledge, confidence, and support you need to advance the work of the Church in gathering souls gently to the gate where the Good Shepherd waits.
