Regina, Canada, Jul 6, 2021 / 15:01 pm (CNA).
The bishops in Saskatchewan on Saturday announced plans for a fundraising effort across the province to support survivors of residential schools, a system set up by the Canadian government as a means of forcibly assimilating indigenous children, many of which were operated by Catholic entities.
“We have heard the strong request, from Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people in various quarters, to initiate a new fundraising campaign to support survivors and engage more deeply in our own ongoing commitment and response to the Truth and Reconciliation process,” read a July 3 letter from the ordinaries of local Churches in Saskatchewan.
