Saskatchewan Indigenous survivor, advocates react to announcement of Pope’s visit

“I think we need to start planning now,” he said. “How can we make the best of the experience and connect First Nations communities and especially survivors to the visit.”“I think as survivors and the people involved, we still need to continue to lobby. We don’t stop lobbying. We don’t stop advocating for Saskatchewan. We continue. Who knows? He may may find a time to do another stop. We don’t know that,” she said.

“A lot of … that delegation are probably all disappointed because he didn’t come to our region. But that’s not stopping so continue to advocate. That’s what I would recommend.” The visit comes after the Pope’s historic apology last month in Rome in front of the Assembly of First Nations delegation for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in residential schools in Canada.

The CCCB stated that Indigenous partners at a local and national level will develop a program for the papal visit. A full program and itinerary will be released six to eight weeks prior to the visit. The Indian Residential Schools Crisis Line is available 24 hours a day for anyone experiencing pain or distress as a result of their residential school experience.

Pope Francis to visit Canada in July with stops in Alberta, Quebec, Nunavut | Globalnews.caThe July visit to Canada comes after the Pope's historic apology last month for the Roman Catholic Church's role in residential schools in the country. I was wondering if the indiginous peoples have demanded an apology and now they want to tell the Pope what should be in the apology. The stops also tell me that not all residential schools were the same since there are no stops in Ontario and other provinces. Reminding the pope to bring his wallet!
