Speakers

Daisy Xiao

Primary Speaker

I'm a Financial Planner with over 15 years of experience advising Canadian families who are tired of generic financial advice that doesn't account for their real life - raising kids, managing mortgages, trying to save while everything feels expensive.

I believe our faith should be involved in every financial decision we make. Catholic financial planning isn’t primarily about where you invest—though that matters too. It’s about bringing your entire financial life under God’s lordship. It’s about making decisions that reflect what we believe about human dignity, the purpose of work, our responsibility to family, and our call to generosity.

Sébastien Généreux

Organizer

Why has God given some of us more than we immediately need, while others have less than they need?

Answering this question made me realize how my decisions to give, spend and save money are not morally neutral. These daily decisions are an expression of my stewardship of what God has given me.

Let's put our money to good use.
