Carney travelling to Rome today, will be among world leaders at Pope’s inaugural mass
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney is flying to Rome today to attend the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV on Sunday.
Carney is a devout Catholic and this will be his first official trip to the Vatican as prime minister.
He was unable to attend Pope Francis’s funeral three weeks ago because it fell two days before the federal election.
The inaugural mass is drawing many international leaders and Carney is expected to have bilateral meetings with several of them during the trip.
