Canoe pilgrimage reaches its final shore

Jesuit and Indigenous pilgrims arrive by canoe Aug. 15 in Kahnawake, a First Nations reserve south of Montreal. It was the group’s final destination after traveling 850 km, following a route used by 17th-century missionaries, in an effort to promote reconciliation.
