NDIGENOUS-SETTLER RELATIONS
Indigenous delegates seek justice at Vatican
In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission called on the Pope to issue an apology to the survivors of residential schools, their families and communities for the Catholic Church’s role “in the spiritual, cultural, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of First Nations, Inuit and Métis children in Catholic-run residential schools.” This week, a delegation of First Nation, Metis and Inuit persons meet in Rome with Pope Francis, to seek that apology and more. Pray that truth and justice may flow from these meetings; meetings that could nurture significant healing amongst both Indigenous peoples and the larger body of Christ.
