Prayer In Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples

O God, Great Spirit and Faithful Creator, with humility we your children acknowledge the relationship of all living things. For this we thank you, we praise you and we worship you.

We call on you, Great Mystery, the Word made Flesh – our teacher,
prophet and brother - to open our hearts to all our brothers
and sisters, and with them to grow in the wisdom, honesty,
courage and respectfulness shown in The Sacred Teachings. Give us the honesty to recognize that the Earth provides us with life sustaining breath, nourishment and healing, and give us the strength to proclaim by our words and actions that the Earth is a blessing for all peoples.

May we avoid the sins of exploitive personal power and profit. May
we seek the righteous way of love, service, and healing in all things. Father, as we walk our journey on this Earth, may your life-giving Spirit protect and guide us with your Wisdom so that we might live in right relationship and harmony with all humanity. May we pass on to future generations this Earth and all your gifts as you have provided them to us. Amen.

Statement on CCCB Delegation to the Holy See 

The recent discovery of children’s remains at a burial site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., remind us of a tragic legacy still felt by Canadians today.

Statement from the CCCB following the recent discovery at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School on the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation

On behalf of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB), I express our deepest sorrow for the heartrending loss of the children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School on the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation.

The news of the recent discovery is shocking. It rekindles trauma in numerous communities across this land. Honouring the dignity of the lost little ones demands that the truth be brought to light.

This tragedy profoundly impacts Indigenous communities, with whom many people across this land and throughout the world now stand in solidarity.

As we see ever more clearly the pain and suffering of the past, the Bishops of Canada pledge to continue walking side by side with Indigenous Peoples in the present, seeking greater healing and reconciliation for the future.

We lift up prayers to the Lord for the children who have lost their lives and pledge our close accompaniment of Indigenous families and communities.

May our Creator God bless all of us with consolation and hope.

Lay Formation Program

Forming Catholic leaders for service and evangelization.

“Learning about apologetics has been a highlight for me because it involves the defense of the faith. When it is done in a kind and gentle way, conversations with all sorts of people open up.” - Dean Vey, Resurrection Parish, Regina.

One weekend a month from October to June, Catholics just like you are gathering in Regina to receive the tools and the guidance they need to speak confidently about the church, their faith, and Jesus Christ in their homes, parishes and the world. Why not make their story, your story?

We are currently accepting applications for our Fall intake. For more information on how to register or our COVID-19 health and safety protocols, contact Program Co-ordinator Deacon Eric Gurash at 306-352-1651 ext 211 or egurash@archregina.sk.ca
