Today, we pause with open hearts to honour our Indigenous sisters and brothers, their families and communities.
As members of The Catholic Women’s League of Canada, we recognize that reconciliation calls us to more than remembrance.
It calls us to listen, to learn, to walk together and to act with compassion, humility and love.
Guided by our faith in Jesus Christ, may we continue to seek truth, foster healing and build relationships rooted in respect and understanding.
May we have the courage to acknowledge the wounds of the past and the commitment to help create a future marked by justice, dignity, hope and peace.
On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we renew our commitment to walk alongside our Indigenous sisters and brothers, not only today, but throughout the year, and for years to come.
May God guide our steps as we continue this journey together toward healing and reconciliation.
