About this Event

COVID-19 deprived many of the faithful of ready access to the Sacraments. In this context, Archbishop Miller will examine the importance of receiving the Eucharist and gathering physically as a community in our parishes, what the pandemic can teach us about the importance of the sacramental life and the reality of the Incarnational nature of the Church, and why we should invite people to return to the parish family.

Michael Miller, CSB, became Archbishop of Vancouver in 2009.  He previously served as Secretary of the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome, as President of the University of St. Thomas in Houston, and in the Secretariat of State of the Holy See.  He is currently a member of the Commission for Justice and Peace of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Editorial Committee of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy, and the Canadian and International Boards of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association.  Archbishop Miller taught theology for many years in Houston, Mexico and Rome and is a prolific author, a specialist on the papacy and modern papal teaching, and a popular speaker at international conferences.  He has received seven honorary doctorates from universities and colleges in North America and Australia.
