The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation calls us to more than remembrance—it invites us into the ongoing work of listening, learning, lamenting, and walking together toward healing. With humility and hope, this reflection explores the Christian call to bear witness to the truth of the past while committing ourselves to relationships marked by justice, compassion, and reconciliation. It reminds us that genuine healing begins when we have the courage to listen deeply and faithfully accompany one another on the long journey toward a more just future.

Orange Shirt Sunday: Every Child Matters
Orange Shirt Sunday invites the Church to remember the children who suffered in the residential school system, to honour Survivors and their families, and to recommit ourselves to the ongoing work of truth, justice, healing, and reconciliation. Rooted in the Gospel’s call to love our neighbours and seek the dignity of every human being, this reflection encourages us to listen deeply, learn humbly, and walk alongside Indigenous Peoples with compassion, honesty, and hope. It reminds us that every child matters, and that faithful discipleship calls us to bear witness through both remembrance and action.
