With deep joy and renewed hope, CNEWA Canada joins the universal Church in giving thanks to God for the election of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.
As an agency of the Holy See, founded by Pope Pius XI in 1926 and entrusted with a special mission of love and solidarity for the Eastern Churches, CNEWA has always walked closely with the successor of Saint Peter. We reaffirm our unwavering loyalty to the Holy Father and our commitment to serve, in his name, the most vulnerable communities in the Middle East, Northeast Africa, India, and Eastern Europe.
The Holy Father’s leadership is a light for all who seek peace, unity, and compassion in a divided world. We pray that Pope Leo XIV may be filled with wisdom, strength, and grace as he shepherds the Church into a new chapter of hope.
