Tuesday, September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. On this day, we offer our intentions for healing and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
In his recent letter to the faithful Cardinal Leo reminds us of the need to “strive to build anew relationships that have been fractured in the past.”
Catholics throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto are invited to participate in the special collection being held the weekend of October 4/5, 2025 to support the Indigenous Healing & Reconciliation Fund. The collection is part of a national grassroots effort to assist healing and reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples of This Land. To date, the Archdiocese of Toronto has allocated $3.1 million to support projects that focus on culture and language revitalization, education and community building, healing and reconciliation for communities and dialogue involving Indigenous elders, spiritual leaders and youth. Let us join together and follow the invitation extended by the late Pope Francis during his penitential visit of 2022 for each one of us to become engaged in the healing and reconciliation journey.
