We wish to acknowledge that St. Martin de Porres Parish sits in Treaty 4 Territory, the traditional homeland of the Cree, Assiniboine, Saulteaux and Metis People. We do so with the deepest respect for the traditions and nations who have been in this place for thousands of years, and as a reminder to the Church that reconciliation is our most important task.
