Pope Francis meets with Canada's Jesuits
By Deborah Castellano Lubov
Pope Francis met with his Jesuit confreres in the Archbishop's Residence in Québec City on his last day in Canada.
The Holy Father normally reserves a private moment to meet with his Jesuit brothers during his Apostolic Journeys.
The Pope typically responds to questions in an informal conversation with those gathered, which is generally written up and made available by Editor of La Civiltà Cattolica, Fr. Antonio Spadaro.
Pope's last day in Canada
Pope Francis is concluding his 'penitential pilgrimage' to Canada, 24 - 30 July, marking his 37th Apostolic Journey abroad and 56th country visited.
During the his Journey, the Pope has repeatedly asked forgiveness for the wrongdoings committed, and has called for researching how these tragedies occurred so that they may never happen again.
After his meeting with the Jesuits and a subsequent meeting with indigenous, the Pope concluded his time in Québec.
Pope Francis then boarded the papal plane en route to the Arctic city of Iqaluit, in Nunavut Territory, for a few hours, to hold a public event and meet Inuit survivors of residential schools, before taking his return flight to Rome.
