This Sunday, June 21st, we will mark National Indigenous Day of Prayer.

In 2010, the General Synod added this date to the Anglican Church of Canada's liturgical calendar, under the heading of “Other Major Feasts That Take Precedence of a Sunday,” reflecting its significance across the Anglican Church of Canada and the Church’s commitment to its ongoing celebration.

As we mark this celebration this coming Sunday we commend two documents to you. First, a letter from our Primate, Archbishop Shane Parker, asking that churches and ministries display the Survivors Flag as "a sign of awareness, acknowledgement and respect for residential school survivors, their families and communities." You can read Archbishop Shane's letter from September 2025 here.

Second, a letter from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation that accompanies each Survivors Flag, with some words of explaination about its history and meaning. You can read that letter here.

The Survivors Flag will be in place in the sanctuary at Holy Trinity Pembroke for the first time this Sunday. For more information about National Indigenous Day of Prayer please see the Anglican Church of Canada's website or click the link below for a brief summary on the Parish of the Valley website.

• Friday, June 19th at 7:30pm at Ascension, Killaloe

Each year, a number of our cemeteries hold Cemetery Services, where we gather to pray and give thanks for those who have gone before us, those we love and see no longer, and to tend the graves of those laid to rest in our cemeteries.
