Pope
meets refugee family before departure for Cuba, US
(Vatican
Radio) The family of Syrian refugees being hosted by the Vatican parish
of Santa Anna had the opportunity to thank Pope Francis for his hospitality
towards them on Saturday morning.
Their
visit came shortly before the Holy Father departed for Cuba and the United
States.
The
Syrian family, accompanied by the Pontifical Almoner Archbishop Konrad
Krajewski, met Pope Francis briefly at the Santa Marta residence to say thank
you and to wish him a safe trip.
On
Friday evening (September 18), Pope Francis visited the Basilica of St. Mary
Major in Rome for a moment of prayer before his 10th Apostolic Voyage as
Pontiff.
It
has become traditional for the Holy Father to visit the Papal Basilica and to pray
before the Salus Populi Romani (Protectress of the Roman People) image of the
Blessed Virgin Mary before a trip.
