The Diocese of Kootenay will mark Sunday, October 19th as Refugee Sunday.

In honour of this, you will find a YouTube link below for a video recorded for us by Raphael Suleiman who will share his story as a refugee in the Kakuma Refugee Camp (Kenya) who has now settled in Kelowna. He will also share about his experience working with our refugee program to assist his family members.

Acknowledgement

The lands on which we gather and serve are the traditional unceded territories of the Syilx (Okanagan) Peoples, the Ktunaxa and Kinbasket Peoples, the Secwepemc (Shuswap) Peoples, and the Sinixt (Arrow Lakes) Peoples.

We seek a new relationship with the first peoples here; one based on honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality. We pray that we may live more deeply into the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
