The highlights of the Ad Limina visits, as indicated in the Directory for the Ad Limina Visits, are the pilgrimage to the tombs of the two Apostles, the meeting with the Holy Father, and the discussions with the personnel of the dicasteries. (Vatican Radio Release) Pope Francis met in the morning with Bishops from western Canada, who are in Rome for their visit ad limina Apostolorum (to the threshold of the [basilicas] of the Apostles).

It was the first systematic study, and thus a landmark, by a Conference of Bishops in the Catholic Church for the prevention of sexual abuse, the care of victims and the administrative procedure to be used in cases of sexual abuse by clergy. Since 1992, the Catholic Dioceses of Canada have drawn on the recommendations in the report to provide diocesan protocols, additional information in formation programs for future priests, and measures to assist priests in the performance of their duties in order to reduce the risks of further sexual abuse of minors and to deal appropriately with reported cases.
