Some 100 delegations from 50 countries are expected to take part in the event in Kazakhstan, which is just south of Russia

A potential papal visit to the isolated, nuclear-armed country was previously floated in 2018

“Let us continue to pray for the health of Pope Francis, especially since he is scheduled to visit Kazakhstan,” said Archbishop Brown

Kazakhstan has been discussed as a potential location for a meeting between Pope Francis and Orthodox Patriarch Kirill of Moscow

“I express my deep shame and sorrow, and, together with the bishops of this country, I renew my request for forgiveness for the wrong done"

“In addition to being children of a history that needs to be preserved, we are authors of a history yet to be written,” the Holy Father said

The pope is expected to meet with and apologize to indigenous Canadians for abuses committed at Church-run residential schools

Pope Francis' visit is primarily to apologize to survivors for the Church's role in the scandal that has been tagged as "cultural genocide"

“As you know,” he said, “I will come among you especially in the name of Jesus to meet and embrace the indigenous peoples”

The visit will focus on reconciliation but will also provide a chance for Canada's Catholic faithful to meet the pope
