Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass at noon on Friday in the room set up on the 10th floor of Gemelli Hospital, according to the Holy See Press Office. Several members of Gemelli's medical and nursing staff attended the Mass, along with members of the Vatican City State Gendarmerie Corps. "In his homily, the Pope thanked all the staff—doctors, nurses, and orderlies—for the work they do every day caring for patients in their frailty, and especially for what they have done and continue to do for him," read the statement.

On his third day in hospital, Pope Leo XIV’s doctors say his chest X-ray in the morning shows “good recovery of the lung that underwent surgery.” The Pope carried his daily activities independently and continues a full range of physiotherapy, as his postoperative recovery progresses normally.

New and returning initiatives will highlight this year’s period of Remembrance, right up until November 11. “Each year, Canadians step up with amazing support for the National Poppy Campaign,” says Sharon McKeown, Dominion President. “Their generosity and caring are what allow us to host a range of programs and support initiatives for our Veterans and their families across the country.” legion.ca/news/articles/2026…

Doctors at Gemelli Hospital removed a cancerous tumor from Pope Leo XIV’s right lung, according to the Holy See Press Office. The surgery was successful, with no complications, and the Holy Father has returned to his hospital room. We ask the faithful to continue praying for Pope Leo’s recovery and for the doctors and staff caring for him. We also hold in prayer all who are living with cancer, their families, and those who care for them.

A reminder from The Royal Canadian Legion. With the Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day approaching, you will begin to see a variety of retailers popping up illegally selling products using the Poppy for profit. (flags, hats, shirts, blankets, jewelry etc.) The reason The Royal Canadian Legion holds the trademark on the Poppy is to ensure this sacred symbol of Remembrance is used with respect and to protect it from unauthorized retailers who use the symbol inappropriately. When purchasing your Remembrance items, please ensure they are from an authorized source - such as poppystore.ca, amazon.ca/legion , or your local Legion Branch. When you shop through these channels, you can be confident that proceeds go directly to the Legion, helping us continue our important work with and for Canada’s Veterans. Un rappel de la part de la Légion royale canadienne. Avec l’approche de la Campagne du coquelicot et du jour du Souvenir, vous verrez apparaître divers détaillants qui vendent illégalement des produits utilisant le coquelicot à des fins lucratives (drapeaux, chapeaux, chandails, couvertures, bijoux, etc.). La raison pour laquelle la Légion royale canadienne détient la marque de commerce du coquelicot est d’assurer que ce symbole sacré du Souvenir soit utilisé avec respect et de le protéger contre les détaillants non autorisés qui l’emploient de façon inappropriée. Lorsque vous achetez vos articles du Souvenir, veuillez vous assurer qu’ils proviennent d’une source autorisée — comme poppystore.ca/fr, amazon.ca/legion ou votre filiale locale de la Légion. En achetant par ces canaux, vous avez la certitude que les produits de la vente vont directement à la Légion, nous permettant ainsi de poursuivre notre travail essentiel auprès et au nom des vétérans du Canada.

NEW: In his first year running Ontario's largest school board, the Ford government's TDSB supervisor logged more than twice as many meetings with the board's $20B real estate arm than he did with parent groups, calendar entries reveal. The FOI records offer a rare glimpse into the supervisor’s day-to-day work, raising concerns that parents have taken a back seat under provincial supervision. Story: thetrillium.ca/news/educatio…

Are you a Catholic voter? Your school support designation matters! It allows you to vote for your Separate (Catholic) School Board Trustee! If school support is incorrectly recorded as Public, advise election staff at the voting location before receiving a ballot for assistance.

A girl’s future should be shaped by her choices, not the barriers in her way. On International Day of the Girl Child, we stand with girls speaking up and breaking barriers. Every girl deserves to grow up safe, be heard and choose her own future.

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

It’s almost that time of year again! Our Poppy campaign is quickly approaching! From October 24 to November 11, millions of Canadians wear a Poppy to honour Canada’s Veterans and Remember those who sacrificed for the freedoms that we enjoy today. The Poppy is always distributed for free to all who wish to wear one. During the Poppy campaign, the Legion will gratefully accept donations to the Poppy Fund. Learn more about the Poppy campaign at: legion.ca/remembrance/the-po… La campagne du coquelicot est presque là !

On World Mental Health Day, we want every Veteran, military member, and family member to know: you are never alone. Invisible wounds are just as real as physical ones, and seeking support is a sign of strength. If you or someone you know needs support, reach out to resources like a Command Service Officer or your local Legion branch. Find a Service Officer in your area by visiting: legion.ca/support-for-vetera… Let's look out for one another.
