Les candidats et la religion : cinq parcours

Sabrina Di Matteo is running for office in the Quebec election scheduled for October 5, basing her platform on her background in religious studies and Church service. A doctoral student in religious sciences at Université Laval since 2022, Di Matteo previously worked for five years in communications and training for the Catholic Church in Montreal. She also led the Benoît-Lacroix student center, now the Dominicum student center, from 2012 to 2019 and served as an assistant director for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops from 2019 to 2023.

Di Matteo describes her candidacy as a continuation of her previous professional and personal commitments. She applies the Christian concept of ministry to politics, viewing it as a responsibility to care for people and ensure they have the conditions necessary for a dignified life. According to Di Matteo, her religious convictions inform her understanding of the common good, specifically regarding fundamental rights such as healthy food and safe housing.
