Pope Francis is in Edmonton for an open-air mass Tuesday morning.
The mass at Commonwealth Stadium begins at 10:15 a.m. MT, but those attending are asked to arrive by 8:30 a.m. The doors to the football stadium open at 7:30 a.m.
Global News will live stream the mass and events leading up to it in this story post. Live coverage begins around 9 a.m. MT Tuesday.
The mass is just one part of the Pope’s visit to the Edmonton area, which began Sunday when he touched down at the airport.
On Monday, the Pope joined survivors at the Ermineskin Indian Residential School in Maskwacis, Alta. The Pope also made a stop at Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples, an Indigenous church in downtown Edmonton.
During his time in Maskwacis, Francis expressed his sorrow and asked for forgiveness for the Roman Catholic Church’s role in the cultural destruction and forced assimilation of Indigenous people, which culminated in residential schools.
“I am deeply sorry,” he said.
Tickets for Tuesday morning’s mass were free and were released online in three separate blocks. Many tickets were reserved for residential/day school survivors, Elders and knowledge keepers.
