A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT
We live in an age in which everything moves quickly. I just read the articles published by Zenith News on World Youth Day in Panama. I am always amazed when I see all the young people around the Pope. My mind turns to the future of the Church ... and even of the Canadian Canon Law Society. I know that the various deans of the Canon Law Faculty of St Paul University have done a great deal to invite the Bishops to raise awareness of the faithful to the need for studies in canon law.
We must do more. It seems to me that it belongs to each one of us to challenge ourselves on this point. This can be done creatively by inviting people to study and to invest in canon law. And it can also be done by inviting people to come back who have distanced themselves from the Society for any number of reasons. Let’s get into ‘invitation mode’.
In Quebec City we are already in preparation for the next convention which will take place from 21 to 24 October 2019 at Le Concorde Hotel (as in 2008). The details of the event will be sent to you, but it should in your agenda straightaway.
It will be a pleasure to see you again in beautiful Quebec City next October — François Hamel

MOT DU PRÉSIDENT
Nous vivons dans un siècle où tout va rapidement. Je viens de lire les articles proposés par Zénith au sujet des JMJ de Panama. Je suis toujours émerveillé quand je vois tous ces jeunes autour du pape. Cela n’est pas sans évoquer dans mon cœur l’avenir de l’Église … et pourquoi pas de la Société canadienne de droit canonique. Je sais que les doyens et
doyenne de la faculté de droit canonique de St-Paul ont fait beaucoup pour interpeler les évêques afin de sensibiliser des chrétiens aux études canoniques.
Nous devons aller plus loin. Il me semble que c’est aussi à chacun de nous d’interpeler. Cela peut se faire à un niveau de la nouveauté c’est-à-dire inviter des gens à étudier et investir dans le droit canonique. Mais cela peut aussi se faire au niveau du retour c’est-à-dire d’inviter des gens à revenir parce qu’ils ont pris des distances face à la Société pour toutes sortes de raison. Passons en mode « invitation ».
À Québec, nous sommes déjà en préparation du prochain congrès qui aura lieu du 21 au 24 octobre 2019 à l’hôtel Le Concorde (le même qu’en 2008). En temps et lieu, nous vous ferons parvenir les informations pertinentes, mais c’est déjà à mettre à votre agenda.
Au plaisir de vous revoir dans la belle ville de Québec en octobre prochain — François Hamel
