Conclave Countdown

With the official announcement that the conclave to elect a new pope is set to begin this Tuesday, a sense of suspense, speculation and excitement grows. 

Our very own Canadian Salt and Light Catholic Television will be providing ongoing televised and online coverage of the conclave and its results.

In the mix of all the coverage and excitement, please remember to pray more intently at this time for the Church, the cardinals, and the future pope.

Hundreds of thousands of people have joined in the online "Adopt a Cardinal" initiative hosted by the Catholic youth association, Youth 2000.  By visiting   www.adoptacardinal.org  you can sign up to be randomly assigned the name of one of the 115 cardinal-electors of the conclave to pray for.
