ABOUT THE COMPANIONS OF THE CROSS
The Companions of the Cross, based in Ottawa, ON, was founded in 1985 by Rev. Robert Bedard, CC. In 2003 we were established as a Society of Apostolic Life. "We are a Roman Catholic community of priests committed to living and ministering together as brothers in the Lord. God has called us to labour boldly for the renewal of the Church through a dynamic evangelization centered upon Christ crucified, who is God’s power and wisdom. Spurred on by the love of God, we desire all people to come into the fullness of life through a personal and ongoing encounter with Jesus Christ." Find out more at www.companionscross.org

World renowned author and speaker Christopher West unpacks the Theology of the Body, Blessed Pope John Paul II’s integrated vision of the human person—body, soul, and spirit—as male and female. In an intimate environment of study and prayer, participants discover the deep significance of: what it means to be made in the image and likeness of God; why God created us male and female; how the physical union of man and woman is innately oriented toward life and love; and how this union is the essential foundation for a life-affirming society.
We can come to an understanding of human existence only through a proper understanding of human sexuality. West’s presentation of Theology of the Body, in the context of St. Thérèse's thought and spirituality—a St. Therese Institute exclusive—can enable students to live more wholly integrated lives, and discover that seeing the world through the lens of TOB is a key to deep rooted peace and joy.
