Francis made the apology and vowed to visit Canada during an audience with dozens of members of the Metis, Inuit and First Nations communities

Pope Francis begged forgiveness Friday for the “deplorable” abuses suffered by Indigenous Peoples in Canada’s residential schools, saying he was ashamed and indignant at all they had endured at the hands of Catholic leaders.

The last Indigenous meeting with Pope Francis mixed somber reflection and prayer with celebration and spectacle to cap off a historic and often poignant week along the route to truth and reconciliation. Almost 200 delegates and other participants, including musicians and dancers, are set to open the session with an expression of gratitude to the Pope for listening to the Indigenous stories of suffering and intergenerational trauma resulting from the government-funded, Catholic-run schools.
