2025 Forum for Catholic Movements and Associations: “Journeying Together as Pilgrims of Hope”

The Tri-Annual Forum for Catholic Movements and Associations is taking place Oct. 17 to 19 in Toronto. Organized by the Standing Committee for Relations with Catholic Movements and Associations of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB), the theme is inspired by the Jubilee Year of Hope, “Journeying Together as Pilgrims of Hope.”

Sixty participants, consisting of the leadership of Catholic movements and associations from across Canada, together with Catholic Bishops, will meet for the first in-person Forum since the pandemic.

Each time the Forum is held, the CCCB celebrates with its participants how Catholic movements and associations are gifts in the life of the Church in Canada – authentic expressions of the lay apostolate and key contributors to the vital infusion of the Gospel into every aspect of life.

Throughout the event, participants will reflect on the importance of Catholic movements and associations in the life of the Church through the lens of synodality. They will also discuss how Catholic movements and associations in Canada can each contribute to marking the 2,000^th anniversary of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, known as the Extraordinary Jubilee of 2033.
