Annual collection for the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your great generosity during last year's collection, which allowed our Archdiocese of Moncton to raise 13,272 $. A big thank you to all the faithful who contributed and the people who organized fundraising activities.

The Catholic Bishops of Canada have committed to raising $30 million within five years.

The funds are managed by a national board of directors composed of leaders, half of whom are Indigenous. This Board is responsible for implementing measures to ensure the proper functioning and transparency of the administration of the collected funds.

I am pleased to inform you that the funds collected in our parishes last year will be used for local projects in collaboration with our four local Mi’gmaq communities: Elsipogtog First Nation, Bouctouche MicMac, Fort Folly First Nation, and Indian Island First Nation.

Special envelopes will be distributed to parishes for this year's collection, which will take place on June 28th and June 29th, 2025. I invite you to continue to support this fund. Thank you. 

Archbishop Guy Desrochers
