his prayers to the Canadian city of Fort McMurray where fires
have destroyed at least 1,600 buildings and forced the
evacuation of 90,000 people, the Fides news agency said.
In a message, Secretary of State Pietro Parolin said "the
Holy Father is saddened by the destruction and suffering caused
by the fires raging in the Fort McMurray area.
"He is praying for all the displaced people - above all the
children - who have lost their homes".
