Dear brothers and sisters in Christ:

The Archdiocese of Vancouver will be hosting the Western Canadian Catholic Stewardship Conference in conjunction with the Northwest Region XII Catholic Stewardship Conference from June 9-11, 2017. We are blessed to have this opportunity to work together in a common endeavour.

The theme of the Conference is “Stewards of Christ’s Mission,” and it is our hope that this gathering will help participants to encounter Jesus Christ and will inspire them to carry on his mission of making disciples, the most important focus of all stewardship. The plenary sessions and diverse selection of workshops will be of interest to everyone seeking to grow in their personal relationship with Jesus and to those looking for practical ways to respond to the call to be better stewards of God’s manifold grace.

I invite you to attend this Conference in Vancouver and to encourage others in your dioceses and parishes to do so as well.

With cordial best wishes and the assurance of my prayers for a fruitful conference, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,

+ J. Michael Miller, CSB
Archbishop of Vancouver
