Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall

Archdiocesan Mass – National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

All are invited to gather for a Special Mass on Tuesday, September 30th, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Archbishop Marcel Damphousse will preside the bilingual Mass at 7:00 PM at Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica (385 Sussex Drive, Ottawa.)

This day is a vital component of the reconciliation process, and we join in public commemoration of the tragic and painful history of residential schools and their ongoing impacts. We invite you to gather with us in prayer, reflection, and solidarity. We will honour the residential school survivors, the children who never returned home, and their families, committing ourselves to walk with Indigenous peoples on the path of healing and hope.
