Pope Francis will meet with representatives of Canada's native peoples this month to listen to their concerns following the discovery of bodies of children buried in church-run schools in Canada, the Vatican said on Wednesday.
A statement said the Pope will meet representatives of Inuit, Métis and First Nations communities on March 28 and 31, before holding an audience for all groups as well as Canadian bishops on April 1.
Later this year the Pope is expected to visit Canada, where Indigenous people have asked that he personally apologize for the Church's role in the schools. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said the Catholic Church must take responsibility.
