CBC Manitoba: Reconciliation a ‘key role’ for Catholic Church, says new archbishop of Winnipeg

April 28, 2025 — 

Daniel McLeod, director of the Jesuit Centre for Catholic Studies at the University of Manitoba, said reconciliation efforts have been hindered in the past by a lack of authenticity in the relationships the church built with Indigenous people.

But the work of people like Chatlain moves the church in a different direction, he said.

“These appointments of the new archbishops who are interested in [reconciliation], it really does show that the church is trying to do better on this front,” McLeod said.
