Resilience in the face of challenges - that is what the theme of this year’s United Nations recognition of Indigenous People recognizes. Resilience in the face of Covid-19.

Sisters of St. Joseph strive to promote wholeness and reconciliation among all peoples. We celebrate this resilience along with the UN, as they highlight how the preservation and promotion of indigenous peoples’ traditional knowledge and practices can be leveraged more fully during this pandemic.
