The Canadian Federation of Presbyteral Councils chose to hold their annual National Assembly in Montreal for 2019. Aside from being a major air travel hub at a central location with a rich Catholic history, it was hoped to explore the possibilities of collaborating with the Dioceses and Eparchies of Quebec in the future. The Assembly took place from 7-10 October 2019 and included a pilgrimage to the world renowned Saint Joseph Oratory and a series of excellent speakers - Archbishop Luigi Bonazzi, Archbishop Christian Lepine, Bishop Paul-Marwan Tabet, Bishop Joseph Nguyen and Bishop Thomas Dowd.
