19 ANNEX 6 DONATIONS PRIORITY SERVICE Human dignity, social justice, equity, mutual aid and solidarity are values that are integral to the mission of religious communities. In the interest of promoting human dignity, respect for the environment and solidarity with the underprivileged, religious communities in Quebec have established a Donations Priorities Service (SPD). This Service is mandated to receive applications for financial assistance from community organizations and to analyze the applications according to the religious communities preestablished intervention criteria. The members of the Round Tables have held four meetings in the past two years. The themes developed: Becoming integrated into Québec as newcomers: a challenge, but at what cost? The main legal measures protecting the environment recent actions and litigation Faith and Commitment: pillars of our hope The rights of immigrant and seasonal workers (April 27, 2018) The work is made possible thanks to the collaboration of the members of this committee (1 man religious and 6 women religious) plus members of the social ministry in the dioceses. This collaboration facilitates the visit of groups in the different regions of Quebec, with the aim of reassuring the communities that the work of those groups properly responds to their intervention criteria on the causes of poverty. In the last two years, 620 requests have been analyzed and 350 groups have been visited. In 2017, about 300 groups received financial support from religious communities whose applications go through the CRC. Since January 2018, 100 recommendations have been sent to the communities and 225 requests will be analyzed and referred by August 15, The organizations recognize the contribution of the communities in supporting their projects. Beyond the funding itself, it means recognition and moral support. Of course, this partnership helps community organizations fulfill their mission and achieve their goals. But the opposite is also true: community organizations help religious communities to fulfill their mission. Annex 6: Donations Priority Service CRC General Assembly May 24-27, 2018

21 ANNEX 7 REPORT OF THE THEOLOGICAL COMMISSION The mission of the Theological Commission, as stated on the CRC website, is twofold: to deepen the meaning of consecrated life according to a theological approach that integrates the contributions made by human sciences, and to propose future avenues that will update consecrated life in a creative and prophetic way, while taking into account the charisms of the congregations. The main vehicle for communicating the reflection of the Commission to CRC membership is the CRC Bulletin. Commission members coordinate and write the articles for the winter Bulletin each year. Commission members also contribute occasionally to regional workshops or gatherings of the CRC. We have met four times since the last general Assembly. Much of our meeting time is devoted to our main task as commission, the planning for and writing of the winter CRC Bulletin. We take time to reflect on the themes of the General Assemblies and endeavour to integrate these in the Bulletin. In the 2017 winter Bulletin, we engaged the Assembly 2016 priorities of moving together toward a new world view, and the implications for all our relationships, particularly relationships among women and men in church and society. Our articles for the winter 2018 Bulletin had as theme Pathways to Hope and explored dimensions of Christian hope as experienced in consecrated life today. Over the past two years, we have attempted to track the number of readers who access our Bulletins via , or directly on the CRC website (about hits since the 2016 General Assembly). Our membership has been quite stable over the past two years. In autumn of 2017, Antoine Emmanuel de la Sayette resigned from the commission to move to a new mission in Italy. Louis Riverin left the Commission in winter We are thankful for their presence in our midst, and their valuable contribution to our work. Yvan Mathieu, SM, of Saint-Paul University, Ottawa was appointed to the Commission in winter Annex 7: Report of the Theological Commission CRC General Assembly May 24-27,
