As Indigenous elders, youth, knowledge keepers and residential school survivors prepare for their historic meetings with Pope Francis Dec. 17-20, Regina Archbishop Don Bolen is inviting Canadians to journey with them spiritually.
At the urging of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, Bolen is presenting a series of five Sunday homilies that will take people through Advent. The archbishop’s reflections will be uploaded to the CCCB YouTube channel.
“Now is the time for us to commit ourselves to walking with Indigenous peoples with the same commitment as St. Jean de Brébeuf, seeking ways to hear their voices speaking their truths,” Bolen said. “(Jesus) invites us as His disciples to face the past honestly, to acknowledge our failings, and to learn a new and non-colonial way of walking in solidarity with Indigenous peoples.”
Bolen wants non-Indigenous Catholics to acknowledge that for most of the last four centuries, the Church’s attempt to evangelize the original people of North America was deeply tied up in European powers claiming land and exploiting resources in the “new world.”
