Pope Francis Visits Canada To Apologize For Abuse On Catholic Students

Pope Francis has visited Canada to apologize to Indigenous peoples for abuses on missionaries at residential schools.

This is coming one year after the bodies of nearly 200 students were found in a mass grave at former Catholic school, and the world has been reacting.

The visit is one of the key steps in the Catholic Church’s efforts to reconcile with Native communities and help them heal from generations of trauma.

Pope Francis even kissed the hand of residential school survivor, Elder Alma Desjarlais of the Frog Lake First Nations as she was introduced to him.

WOW.
