The Holy Name Truth and Reconciliation group invites you to a reception in the church hall after Mass on Sunday, Nov. 17th, 2024.
Our guest speaker will be Michael Swan.
Michael is a Catholic journalist, recently retired from The Catholic Register.
He has written extensively about what he has heard from Indigenous and non-Indigenous people about the role of the Church in Canadian history and Pope Francis’ visit to Canada to seek forgiveness.
You can read more about Michael’s reflection on the Papal visit here:
Michael and his wife Yone are parishioners at Our Lady of Lourdes parish. We hope you’ll join us in making them feel welcome at Holy Name on Nov. 17th, 2024.
If you are able to contribute a food donation for this reception, we thank you in advance.
Please email Jen Miles at jen.miles.is@rogers.com to let her know what you can bring.
We look forward to seeing you after Mass on the 17th for what promises to be a thoughtful and hopeful conversation with Michael.
