PASTORAL VISIT OF BISHOP GUY BOULANGER TO TIMISKAMING FIRST NATION
Timiskaming First Nation, Canada. 5th April 2022 was a day-long pilgrimage for Msgr. Joseph Ferdinand Guy Boulanger, Bishop of Rouyn-Noranda, on the sacred land of Timiskaming First Nation, situated close to the municipality of Notre-Dame-du Nord.
The day started around 09:05 with a warm welcome to the bishop by Vice-Chief Christine Chevrier and some councilors (Colleen Polson & Gerald Hanbury) at the band’s office. After a chat with them, the bishop went to celebrate Mass at the Anishinaabe Long Term Care Center (ALTCC).
In his sermon, he shared four things from the Gospel of the 5th Sunday of Lent, making a significant connection with the Native People’s spirituality and lifestyle. In the first one, he said that SILENCE is important for the Natives as Jesus was silent when many asked to condemn the woman who got into adultery.
