Orange Shirt Day/National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, September 30, is a time to remember and honour Indigenous children who were taken from their communities and families to residential institutions.

Every year on Orange Shirt Day/National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we wear an Orange Shirt to remember children like Phyllis Webstad whose beautiful and special orange shirt was taken from her when she entered residential school. We remember children who didn’t return home, we remember survivors and their families who suffer with intergenerational trauma stemming from this system.

The United Church is responsible for 15 residential schools operated between 1849 and 1969. About 6.7% of the approximately 80,000 residential school students still alive today attended United Church schools.

In 1998, the church apologized specifically for its role in Indian Residential Schools, and since 2008 has been actively engaged in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC), which was created to address the history and legacy of Indian Residential Schools.

On our website, you can find out more about The United Church of Canada's ongoing work toward Truth and Reconciliation, along with ways individuals and communities of faith can practice reconciliation and work for Indigenous justice: https://united-church.ca/social-action/justice-initiatives/reconciliation-and-indigenous-justice

Happy Father's Day to the fathers and father figures in our lives. We thank you for your love and wisdom, and for the ways you raise us up with grace and encouragement.

We also remember and lift up those who may find this day difficult—those who have lost fathers, those who are estranged from them, and those yearning to become fathers.

Our hearts are full of gratitude and love for you.
