About the Centre

The centre supports and promotes collaborative research on the Second Vatican Council, including

• the contributions of Canadians to this historic event, and the understanding of how religious communities in Canada have been shaped by the council;

• critical reflection on the dialogue between the Catholic community and other Christian churches, non-Christians, and contemporary society;

• consideration of the dynamics of change, including the elements of progress and decline in the life of the Catholic community; and

• a strong focus on archival research related to Canadian participation in the Second Vatican Council.
