Vision

Growing in God’s redeeming power, Montreal Dio is a creative learning community forming leaders for God’s mission.

Mission

We teach people to be leaders in God’s world, preparing them to share the Gospel in whatever way God calls them, by

  • offering high quality and innovative programmes of theological education, vocational discernment and spiritual formation for lay and ordained people of the Anglican Communion, United Church of Canada, and other traditions;

  • engaging the challenges of the cultural and linguistic context of Montreal and the world of the 21st Century;

  • partnering with world class educational institutions, the global church, and other dynamic organizations.

We build community to foster ongoing learning and support by

  • nurturing an inclusive student body and faculty through meaningful relationships, common worship, and challenging theological reflection;

  • sustaining networks of support and continuing education for alumni;

  • equipping parishes to serve as sites of missional learning and growth;

  • leveraging opportunities with the wider community.
