ELECTING A POPE

On March 13th, the world's cardinals in Rome elected Pope Francis following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. The catholicregister.org has created a special, easy-to-view section to display the news from Benedict's last days, plus all the breaking stories from the Vatican as the cardinals choose the next pope.

The following is the text from Pope Benedict XVI's final general audience at the Vatican Feb. 27.

HAMILTON, ONT. - Fr. Daniel Miehm has been appointed the new auxiliary bishop for the Hamilton diocese.

Archbishop Pedro Lopez Quintana announced the appointment by Pope Benedict XVI Feb. 20.

TORONTO - Today, Ash Wednesday, marks the first day of the Lenten season for Christians throughout the Greater Toronto Area and around the world. In Catholic churches in the archdiocese of Toronto, the faithful will gather today to participate in the distribution of ashes — a tradition that has united Christians together in their faith for more than a millennium.

TORONTO - Joel George of Francis Libermann Catholic High School in Toronto is the first prize winner in the 12th annual Student Writing Contest for Christian Unity.
