2026 Annual Conference
Join us for the 18th annual conference, Restoring Medicine Through the Sacred Heart, hosted by the Vancouver guild. Connect with like-minded healthcare professionals and learn from speakers like Dr. Quentin Genuis and Deacon Dr. Tim Kostamo. We will center our reflections on the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, the ultimate symbol of the Wounded Healer. Only when we remain grounded in this can we properly address the moral ambiguity so prevalent in medicine today.
Participez à la 18e conférence annuelle, Restoring Medicine Through the Sacred Heart (Restaurer la médecine a travers du Sacré-Cœur), organisée par les médecins catholiques de Vancouver. Rencontrez des professionnels de la santé qui partagent vos valeurs et venez écouter des conférenciers tels que le Dr Quentin Genuis et le diacre Dr Tim Kostamo. Nous centrerons notre réflexion sur le Sacré-Cœur de Jésus-Christ, symbole ultime du Guérisseur blessé. C’est seulement en demeurant enracinés en lui que nous pourrons vraiment affronter l’ambiguïté morale si présente dans la médecine aujourd’hui.
