Bishops Express Sorrow for Native Americans

The recent discovery of the unmarked children’s graves in Canada is heartbreaking, not only for those nations but for all people. We wish to stand in solidarity with them as the story behind these graves comes to light. We are all children of God, connected to each other and the world around us. We ask everyone to pray for the healing and strength of our Native American brothers and sisters - and for each other. We continue to pray for you as we stand in solidarity with everyone who has been harmed by the Church.
