"I encourage parishes to consider marking National Indigenous Sunday and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on the closest Sunday to June 21 and September 30. One of the things that excites me about the Diocese of Kootenay is a will to live into our commitments to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and I pray you find creative ways to do this in your community."
