September Virtue of the Month: Faith
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Heb. 11:1)
Faith is an attitude which encourages us to involve God in our lives and helps us to maintain and develop our relationships with God and with others both when things are going well and when they are not.

A discussion all Canadians can tune into and create bridges with each other for reconciliation. A day for survivors to be reaffirmed that they matter, and so do those that have been affected.
