I invite all the faithful of the Archdiocese of Vancouver to join me in prayer for our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, asking the Lord to strengthen him and grant him a full recovery.

I also invite you to submit a prayer for Pope Leo using the form below.

We will gather these prayers from across the Archdiocese and send them to the Holy Father as an expression of our love and spiritual closeness. May the Lord continue to strengthen our Holy Father in the days ahead.

✠ Richard W. Smith
Archbishop of Vancouver
