The number of adult baptisms in Quebec has risen markedly in recent years. What is driving this shift? In a recent broadcast of Questions d'actualité on Radio VM, a French-language Catholic radio station at 91.3 FM, two guests shared their reflections on a reality that is quietly transforming Catholic communities: Alexandre Gauvin, coordinator of diocesan pastoral ministry at the Archdiocese of Quebec, and Gustavo Adolfo Garay Ortega, director of the Centre étudiant Dominicum, a Catholic pastoral centre for students and young professionals in Montreal.

International students, newcomers to Canada, and young adults in search of meaning are increasingly knocking at parish doors. Their paths bear witness to a profound spiritual search, and they are breathing new life into the Church.

Watch the full conversation to hear our guests reflect on this hopeful development and what it means for the future of the Church in Quebec.
