*NEW* Journeying with God’s Family through the Two-Eyed Seeing Teaching, with Elder Deacon Michael Thibert – September 25, October 21 & November 27, 2025

Understanding Indigenous Spirituality and how it Intersects with Our Catholic Faith

“In the late 1400’s, God/Creator decided that it was time that the larger extended family got to know each other. As a result, my ancestors sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1600s and met my other ancestors who had been living with the continental land which has come to be known as Canada, North America or Turtle

Island for the past 15,000 years.

So, what happens when you bring together two sides of a new family?

Join me over the next three months, as we explore the coming together of cultures, spirituality, teachings, and what it means to be in relationship with each other and our God in the New Garden of Eden.” – Deacon Michael Thibert
