Message from Archbishop Dunn to the Faithful on the Election of Pope Leo XIV
Dear Faithful of the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth:
Habemus papam! Over the past few days, as Catholics we have been rejoicing in the election of a new pope, Pope Leo XIV.

The task ahead of him has many joys but also many challenges.
