As the Church, it is our shared responsibility to facilitate this apostolic journey and the planning that it entails.

​There are many costs associated with the papal visit which are the direct responsibility of the Church, and we need your help to ensure the financial means that will further support this journey of healing and reconciliation with our Indigenous brothers and sisters.
