Monday, September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. In the Parish of the Valley we will mark this day on Sunday, September 29th. All members of our parish are invited and encouraged to wear orange on that Sunday as a visible symbol of our ongoing commitment to walk humbly on the pathways of healing and reconciliation.
