Join us for this reflection on the National Day for Prayer in Solidarity with Indigenous Persons

Since 2002, the Canadian Catholic Bishops have called for a National Day for Prayer in Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples on December 12. Let us gather to listen to voices from within the Catholic Education Community in Ontario that will help us to reflect on solidarity in this Jubilee Year of Hope called for by Pope Francis.

We are blessed to have Indigenous leaders in Catholic Education lead us in this reflection:

  • Sharon Giroux is a member of M’Chigeeng First Nation. She resides in Chatham-Kent and is a member of the Marten clan. She is the Vice President of Equity for OECTA Provincial
  • Tesa Fiddler is Anishinaabe/Anishininew from Kitchinuhmaykoosib Inninuwug. She is the Co-ordinator of Indigenous Education at Thunder Bay Catholic DSB and is currently on secondment as an Education Officer at the Ministry of Education.
  • Bailey Clyne is Indigenous Student Trustee for the Dufferin Peel Catholic District school board and Vice Chair of the Indigenous Student Trustees Council with OSTA-AECO (Ontario Student Trustees Association)
