A CATHOLIC COMMITMENT TO HEALING AND RECONCILIATION

The Indigenous Reconciliation Fund was established to accept donations from 73 Catholic Dioceses across the country, and to advance healing and reconciliation initiatives, fulfilling the $30 million financial commitment made by Canada’s Bishops in September 2021. 

The fund seeks to support projects that are determined locally, in collaboration with First Nations, Métis and Inuit partners. 

“There is no single step that can eliminate the pain felt by residential school survivors, but by listening, seeking relationships, and working collaboratively where we are able, we hope to learn how to walk together in a new path of hope.”  

Bishop William McGrattan
BISHOP OF CALGARY, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CANADIAN CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS
