4 Seasons of Reconciliation Online Course Available!

Knowing more about Indigenous realities, both past and present is a vital step in entering into meaningful and just relationships with the Indigenous, thus ensuring our future together will be one where justice and the dignity of all are truly lived out. To help Catholics in our diocese, the Archdiocese of St. Boniface is offering the faithful the opportunity to take the 4 Seasons of Reconciliation online course. This course, developed by Productions Cazabon in collaboration with the First Nations University in Regina and the Oblate Fathers, allows individuals to watch compelling videos and read testimonials and other material about the history, challenges and hopes of the Indigenous in Canada, touching on many of the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. All told, the course takes about three hours to complete, but anyone can do it at their own pace.

The Archdiocese has licensed sixty slots, available on a first come, first serve basis. To more information or to register for the course, contact Daniel Bahuaud at 204-594-0277 or at communications@archsaintboniface.ca

Video – Archbishop LeGatt: Two Paths Towards Solidarity with the Indigenous

In this first of a series of videos on how we can all become more aware of the past and present realities of Indigenous people, with the goal of reaching out to the Indigenous in friendship and justice, Bishop LeGatt proposes two initiatives that, serving as potential first steps, can help us come closer to walking together with Indigenous people, here at home.
The first is the "Listening to Indigenous Voices" program, which will first be offered in French, starting Thursday October 5 at Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens parish (Look forward to an English language opportunity in the New Year!). These eight meetings, led by Oblate Brother Thomas Novak, are an invitation to deepen our knowledge and open our hearts. For more information or to register, contact Daniel Bahuaud at 204-594-0277 or communications@archsaintboniface.ca.

The second initiative is the online course "4 Seasons of Reconciliation". This course takes about three hours, to complete, but everyone can follow it at their own pace. The Archdiocese has secured sixty places, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Again, for more information or to register for this course, contact Daniel Bahuaud at 204-594-0277 or communications@archsaintboniface.ca
