With deep sorrow, Bishop McGrattan joins the Bishops of Canada and the faithful around the world in mourning the death of Pope Francis, who passed away in Rome on Easter Monday, Apr 21, 2025, at the age of 88.
In his tribute, Bishop McGrattan reflects on Pope Francis’ legacy as a humble shepherd who called the Church to mercy, dialogue, and missionary discipleship. We invite you to read the full message and join us in praying for the repose of his soul. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. Memorial Mass for Pope Francis

Justice, Healing & ReconciliationWe acknowledge that Treaty 7 territory, on which we stand, is the ancestral land of the Indigenous peoples and is common home to everyone in virtue of God our Creator's gracious gift.
On 8 February 2023, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following four pastoral letters on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Intended as a framework for local engagement with Indigenous Peoples, the letters are the fruit of many months of listening, encounter, and dialogue with them, including through Listening Circles, the Indigenous Delegation to the Vatican in April 2022, and Pope Francis’ Apostolic Voyage to Canada in July of the same year. |
