Pope Francis will visit Canada on
July 24-30, the head of the Vatican press office Matteo Bruno
said Friday.
Francis will visit the cities of Edmonton, Québec and Iqaluit,
he said.
The visit will be at the invitation of civic and ecclesiastical
authorities and indigenous communities, the latter of which the
pope welcomed to the Vatican recently, apologising for the
treatment of children in Catholic institutes.
Bruni said the schedule for the visit would be released in due
course.
