This Sunday is Father’s Day, so blessings and prayers to the fathers in our midst.
June 21 is also National Indigenous Peoples Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. Links for more information:
