Papal visits are typically filled with the joyful pageantry, excitement and emotion of a big event. But Pope Francis’ trip to Canada next month will likely have a rather dour feel. The pope will make the transatlantic trip in part to apologize in person for past abuses suffered by Indigenous people at the hands of the Catholic Church.
The pope will be in Canada July 24-29 with stops in Edmonton, Quebec City and Iqaluit, the northernmost city in Canada, where nearly half the population of 8,000 is Inuit.
