Sisters of Charity – Halifax Celebrate the Election of Pope Leo

The Sisters of Charity—Halifax celebrate Pope Leo XIV's election. With deep pastoral ties to Chiclayo, Peru—where the Sisters ministered for over 50 years—the newly elected Pope holds special significance for the community.

From Halifax to Rome, the Sisters share in the joy of this historic moment, including Sister Margaret Mary Fitzpatrick, SC, who was in Rome during the Conclave. The recently shared media release that includes reflections from Sisters in both Peru and Halifax, as well as a note on the connection with Archbishop Emeritus Martin Currie, who also served in Chiclayo.

In part it reads:
The Sisters of Charity – Halifax are rejoicing with the global Catholic community in the election of Pope Leo XIV, whose leadership and connection to the poor reflect the heart of the Sisters’ mission. With a long-standing presence in Chiclayo, Peru, where Pope Leo XIV formerly served as Archbishop, the Sisters celebrate this moment with personal joy.
