As we prepare to welcome Pope Francis to Canada, we invite Catholics from across the country to participate in this historic journey in a number of different ways. In addition to television coverage of papal events, visit www.papalvisit.ca or www.visitepapale.ca to access more than 10 livestream links of coverage featuring interpretation in many languages (including Indigenous languages), as well as livestream links from Vatican TV including commentary.
 
Salt & Light Catholic Media Foundation has a dedicated site for information and broadcast details for the papal visit -  https://slmedia.org/popeincanada (English) or https://slmedia.org/fr/papeaucanada (French).
 
Novalis has also produced a digital resource that includes texts for all the liturgies presided by Pope Francis, prayers as well as reflections on the significance of the Papal Visit. To download the resource, visit: livingwithchrist.ca (English) or prionseneglise.ca (French).
 
We invite you to pray for the Holy Father and all those involved in this historic journey of healing, reconciliation and hope.
 
Thank you for your continued co-operation and support.
