Kuei, chers frères et sœurs,
Voici quelques nouvelles importantes et invitations à ne pas manquer.
Vous êtes tous et toutes chaleureusement invités à l’événement Kwe! qui aura lieu à Québec, du 13 au 15 juin 2025. C’est une occasion précieuse de venir à la rencontre des 11 nations autochtones du Québec. Au programme : conférences, ateliers, prestations artistiques, dégustations de plats traditionnels… mais surtout, la rencontre, si essentielle, entre nos peuples, ici même, dans cette belle province que nous partageons.
Le tout est gratuit et se déroulera au Centre Vidéotron, à Québec. Pour en savoir plus, visitez le site : Événement Kwe.

Kuei, dear brothers and sisters,
Here are some important updates and special invitations you won’t want to miss.
You are all warmly invited to attend the Kwe! event, taking place in Québec City from June 13 to 15, 2025. This is a unique and meaningful opportunity to meet and connect with the 11 Indigenous Nations of Québec. On the program: conferences, workshops, artistic performances, traditional food tastings… and above all, the vital encounter between our peoples, right here in the beautiful province we share.
Admission is free, and the event will be held at the Centre Vidéotron in Québec City. To learn more, visit the website Événement Kwe.
What God Is Doing Among the First Nations
God is powerfully at work in the Indigenous Ministry. Many projects have emerged — His blessings are abundant:
- In partnership with ADRA Canada, a major project is underway to install clean drinking water in all 80 homes in the community of Kitcisakik (about 5 hours north of Montréal and 1.5 hours from Val-d’Or).
- Another project is nearing completion: the translation and distribution (on USB drives) of 13 health education videos, specially created for Indigenous communities. These materials will be shared this summer during powwow tours (check out La route des pow-wow on Google — you’re warmly invited to attend!).
- A new project has also begun: a community awareness day focused on violence prevention, with ongoing efforts planned throughout the year.
I’d like to offer a simple but important invitation:
Invite me to present my culture and these projects at your church.
It’s also a great opportunity for your Pathfinders — who are required to complete a certification on Indigenous Peoples. Let’s make it count on both fronts!
With gratitude,
Marie Émilie Lacroix
