An Edmonton Catholic priest has been placed on indefinite administrative leave after denying reports of unmarked graves at former residential schools. Marcin Mironiuk, a priest at Our Lady Queen of Poland Parish in Edmonton's Old Strathcona neighbourhood, referred to news of unmarked graves at residential school sites as "lies" and "manipulation" in church on July 18. Do you know of a child who never came home from residential school? Support is available for anyone affected by their experience at residential schools, and those who are triggered by the latest reports. A national Indian Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support for former students and those affected.
