Pope Francis celebrated Mass before a crowd of thousands at Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium on the morning of July 26 as he began the third day of his papal visit to Canada.
The Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church will participate in the annual Lac Ste. Anne pilgrimage later this afternoon to continue what he has called his “journey of healing and reconciliation” with Canadian indigenous communities affected by the Church’s involvement in the residential school system.
