In 2022, Alberta had the privilege of hosting the Holy Father, an occasion that fostered moments of worship, contemplation, and a significant stride towards healing. His engagement with Indigenous leaders and his heartfelt apology regarding the legacy of residential schools exemplified humility and reconciliation, serving as poignant reminders that faith encourages us to embrace forgiveness.
Today, we stand in solidarity with Catholics throughout our province and around the world as we mourn the passing of Pope Francis, reflecting on a life devoted to God and the service of humanity.
