One of Canada’s longest serving Catholic bishops, Remi De Roo was a participant in Vatican II, scholar, author, advocate on behalf of the poor, and critic of capitalism, and friend of the marginalized. Considered a radical by some for his social views and reforming spirit, De Roo has clashed with popes and prime ministers in his efforts to champion the goals of Vatican II. This one day symposium celebrates Bishop Remi's prophetic vision, fearless voice, and compassionate action in the world.

The symposium will include a keynote lecture by scholar Michael W. Wiggins, as well as panel discussions that reflect on Remi's person, his impact on the church, and his engagement with society. There will also be a book launch introducing Remi De Roo, Pilgrim and Prophet: Wisdom for Today's Church in the World.

Lunch and refreshments will be served.
