Albertans Mourn Pope Francis And Honor His Legacy

EDMONTON, CANADA - APRIL 22: The stole worn by Pope Francis during his 2022 visit rests gently on the chair where he once sat at the Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples, a quiet yet powerful symbol of his apology to Indigenous peoples and a legacy of humility and reconciliation, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on April 22, 2025. The Pope's death at age 88 has stirred deep reflection across Alberta, where his message of healing and respect continues to resonate. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
