Blanket Exercise: Renewed Catholic Commitment to Indigenous Reconciliation

It has been 2 years since Pope Francis came to Canada on a penitential pilgrimage in which he apologized and called for a future of justice, healing and reconciliation for and with Canada’s Indigenous Peoples.  In a “Letter to the People of God”, the Canadian Bishops are encouraging all Catholics to continue to listen to Indigenous communities on this journey of reconciliation.
On Saturday afternoon, October 19th you too can participate in this process of healing and reconciliation through a unique event in our parish: the Blanket Exercise.  This is an interactive way to learn the history and the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada. See poster for details.
