Happy Summer, Everyone!! A few weeks ago, on June 12, we celebrated the feast of Enmegahbowh.  I really didn’t know anything about him until I did some research for a sermon I was preaching that evening.  In fact, I couldn’t even pronounce his name!!  But after some reading, I learned that he was the first … Continue reading Recognition of the indigenous peoples of our land
