Spirituality

When we speak of a person's Spirituality, we often think it means 'their religion'. Spirituality means many different things to many different people. People can be religious and spiritual, but they can also be spiritual without having any apparent religious affiliation. The following video is an interesting perception of how the First Nations Catholics integrate their aboriginal roots and their Catholic faith in a church and a school in Edmonton.
