Exploring Our Global Solidarity with Canada and Fr. Alain Ambeault, CSV

In this episode, we explore our international Viatorian solidarity with Canada and Fr. Alain Ambeault, CSV. Fr. Alain professed first vows in 1980 and was ordained a priest in 1986. He served in several leadership roles for the Province of Canada and was elected to a six-year term as our Superior General in 2012, succeeding our own Fr. Mark Francis, CSV, for whom he was General Councilor, preceding our own Fr. Mick Egan, CSV. Fr. Alain now serves as the executive director of the Canadian Religious Conference, which networks religious communities across the Church in Canada for collaboration.
