The Catholic Aboriginal Council for Reconciliation was created by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in 1998 to increase awareness of Aboriginal issues, to support processes of healing, and to foster Aboriginal faith leadership in the Christian community. In 2002, this Council recommended that December 12 be a National Day of Prayer for Aboriginal People, it is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe who is recognized as Our Lady of the Americas. The day was later renamed as the National Day of Prayer in Solidarity with Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
