ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis concludes his penitential pilgrimage to Canada
By Vatican News staff reporter
The final day of ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis’ penitential pilgrimage to Canada concluded with a visit to the northern city of Iqaluit, the capital of the territory of Nunavut.
The Holy Father met privately with a group of residential school survivors before addressing a gathering of Inuit youth and elders.
At the airport, ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis was accompanied once again by Canada’s Governor General Mary Simon, an Inuk who is the first indigenous person to hold the position. After a final exhibition of traditional Inuit drumming and dancing, ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis boarded his plane for the seven-hour flight for Rome.
