Indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan are calling on Catholics to stand in solidarity with residential school survivors by not attending church services.

Felix Thomas, chief of the Kinistin Saulteaux Nation northeast of Saskatoon, asked Friday for Catholic worshippers to make their feelings known by praying at home instead.

He stopped short of a full apology for the Catholic Church's involvement in Canada's residential schools. "Many of our people are practising Catholics as well," said Pratt. "They need for their own healing, because of some of the things they suffered and endured. They need to hear the leader of their church recognizing the harms that they've done to them.

"As far as I'm concerned, if you cannot recognize the harms and impacts that you and your organization have done to individuals, you've lost the moral leadership to be able to address and speak on behalf of your congregants."

Everybody is a sinner and a racist, check. Everybody has to apologize for history check. Can we move on now with the present and future.

divergentTea Dang. The only time I’ve wished I was Catholic - just so I could boycott the killers

Everyone is fucking retarded. My self included.

Here's your papal apology: 'Pope Benedict has said he is sorry for the physical and sexual abuse and 'deplorable' conduct at Catholic church-run Canadian residential schools.'

Not 1 Sunday but every Sunday until the apologize has been accepted

Bring back the blankets!

Say it louder for those in the back

Your fight is with the government, the church and the rcmp. Not citizens

'You don't need a middleman to pray to the Creator, to God.' 👍🏽👍🏽

Catholic mafia boss Pontifex will never apologize!

Nobody should apologize for something they were not a live for. It’s pathetic. We are not our ancestors

Are we to pay for the sins of past generations?
