A special event for all young adults (ages 19 to 39) of the Archdiocese of Toronto, in collaboration with the Office of Catholic Youth Spiritus ministries.
Being Catholic in the Workplace has become increasingly challenging. Many barriers have been put in place: policies, rules, and regulations. And more barriers could be on the way. We can look to examples around the world and even in our own country of how religious freedom is being slowly brushed aside. Let's take a look at how the cross may be lifted high in the workplace and also develop a culture that supports religious freedom.
