Indigenous Peoples and Christianity

When Ottawa announced a compensation package last week for victims of what has become known as the "Sixties Scoop," it was one more step in a long walk of trying to make reparations to Indigenous peoples for devastating sins committed against individuals, families, and entire communities.

Saint Francis of Assisi

The feast day of Saint Francis

Many churches remember Francis of Assisi each year on October 4. The day is considered a "feast day" honouring the saint. 

Generally speaking, saints are simply people who have gone before us in the faith, people whom we honour and remember for their exemplary lives, or for their example of faith and perseverance in the midst of great suffering and persecution.
