Pope Francis Calls on Parishes to House Refugee Families, Says Vatican Will Do Same
In response to the thousands of refugees fleeing war and terrorism and traveling to Europe, Pope Francis made the worldwide news in announcing yesterday that the Vatican will shelter two families of refugees. He called on Catholic parishes, convents and monasteries across Europe to do the same. Francis cited Mother Teresa, the European-born nun who cared for the poorest in India, while making his appeal in remarks to Catholic pilgrims and tourists in St. Peter’s Square.
