Pope

Five Gonzaga Prep high schoolers and their chaperones had tickets to the World Meeting of Families Papal Mass, where Pope Francis spoke about the future, modern family and religious freedom.

Thousands gathered in downtown Philadelphia Saturday morning to greet Pope Francis on his first visit the U.S.

Today Pope Francis delivered Mass at The Cathedral Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul.

In less than a week, hundreds have written their name across the pontiff’s grinning face — in black, red, blue, yellow.

I have a confession. I feel holy envy about Pope Francis.

About 1 million people are expected to descend upon Philadelphia for this weekend’s papal visit. Among them are five Spokane high schoolers.

I have to admit, I’ve been beside myself for a couple weeks now in anticipation for Pope Francis’ first trip (in his whole life!) to the United States.
