I’m an atheist, and I don’t have any particular fondness for the Catholic Church. But it’s not really up to you or me how indigenous Canadians - a great many of whom are Catholic - reconcile the legacy of the Church’s role in residential schools.
And in general, I don’t think the blistering contempt for religion frequently expressed on this site by posters who are overwhelmingly white, young, educated males, is a good look. Not when you consider that people of religious faith tend to be older, poorer, female, and visible minorities. It’s especially risible when the people expressing that contempt are self-professed champions of the downtrodden.

Are these churches helping these types people? Or taking advantage of them? Is there something well funded social programs couldn't do that a church does?
Just saying. As much as people lean on churches, the churches take advantage of that desperation for their own needs.
