Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together

Historic Document - Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together

On February 4, 2019, during his Apostolic Journey to the United Arab Emirates, Pope Francis and His Excellency Dr. Ahmad Al-Tayyeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, co-signed an historic document entitled “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” with the aim, as the document states, “of finding a universal peace that all can enjoy in this life.” The Holy Father has mandated the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue to disseminate the document in “every place and sector of the Church and Society.”

A First for the Archdiocese of St. Boniface

Affordable condominiums will see the light of day in Transcona in 2019-2020 on archdiocesan property, site of the former French parish Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption.

The idea of developing the property, located on Leola Street, was originally pitched not long after the closure of the parish on July 31, 2016. Nearly three years later, the project was presented and approved by the East Kildonan-Transcona Community Committee at its March 19 meeting.

With the approval of the project, named Leola Village, plans to subdivide and rezone the property to allow the construction of multi-family units can now move forward.
