THE CENTER TEAM

I CARDINAL MARC OUELLET President;
I SR.MARIE DE L’ASSOMPTION OP general secretary;
I LOUIS DE VIGOUROUX D’ARVIEU treasurer

I PAULINE BOQUIEN
CRAV volunteer, responsible for communications

When I work, when I commit myself, it is necessary that there be meaning in what that I do, that the values ​​transmitted are common with what I believe to be true and that I too can transmit these values ​​and their importance.
The Center for Research and Anthropology of Vocations (CRAV), by the fact that it aims to promote the necessity and complementarity of vocations, that it transmits the values ​​of the Catholic religion, speaks of the importance of three states of life (consecrated life, priesthood, marriage), and reminds that we are all called, that the Lord has placed a desire to respond to a call in each of us, allows me to convey what seems to me to be truly important for the society today. Furthermore, having had the chance to receive solid human, philosophical and spiritual training during my schooling and being in philosophy studies, the CRAV, through its research, its members and its ideas allows me to deepen and strengthen this knowledge .
Volunteering is also an aspect that I consider important. Since my childhood I have learned to give my time freely, to serve, to help and to find a lot of joy in it. When we have had the chance to receive a lot, give, pass on in turn and return what we have received, all this seems important to me and as very often we receive more than we give!</span >
