Ozanam Orientation – ONLINE

Ozanam Orientation is the “basic training” of the Society. All new Vincentians are required by the Rule of the Society to attend Orientation within six months of joining us. Established Vincentians are required to attend at least once every three years. During Orientation, we cover the history and spirituality of the Society and the wider Vincentian movement, examine the Rule, introduce you to home visits and systemic change, plus a lot more.

In view of the COVID-19 crisis, the next Ozanam Orientation will be held online over two Mondays: February 21st and February 28th. Each session will be approximately 3 hours long and will begin at 6:00 PM sharp. Hardcopy materials will be mailed or dropped off at your residence prior to the first session. You will also be sent an email with the link to join the meeting a few days prior to the first session.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. You must attend and complete BOTH SESSIONS to be considered “formed.” If you miss a session, you will have to take the entire Orientation again at a later date. 
2. Registration will close on Monday, February 14th to give us time to mail or drop off training materials prior to the first session. 
3. We are conducting this training via Zoom. If you do not already have a Zoom account, you can simply wait until we send you the email with the link to join. When you click the link, Zoom will self-install on your computer. Please have your camera lens uncovered so we can see you. 

To register, complete the form below and click “Submit.” A confirmation will appear on screen, and you will receive a confirmation email shortly thereafter. We look forward to seeing you ONLINE.

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
