INDIGENOUS HEALING & RECONCILIATION

On the weekend of October 4^th & 5^th, we will take up a collection for the Indigenous Healing & Reconciliation Fund. This annual initiative is a national effort by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to provide funds in support of programs and initiatives that respond to the various needs that exist among Indigenous Peoples both locally and throughout the country. Envelopes are available at the church entrances. Thank you.

The Truth and Reconciliation Group has put together the following list of books, internet links and other resources as a result of ongoing dialogue within the Parish on how we as parishioners can learn more about Truth and Reconciliation, as part of Action #59 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action, namely: “We call upon church parties to the Settlement Agreement to develop ongoing education strategies to ensure that their respective congregations learn about their church's role in colonization, the history and legacy of residential schools, and why apologies and reparations to former residential school survivors, their families and communities were necessary.”
