The welcoming cheers that comforted the refugees were echoed in Vatican
City by Pope Francis, who called on Catholics across Europe to aid and
house the travel-weary wanderers.
“May every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every
sanctuary in Europe host a family, starting with my Diocese of Rome,”
Francis said.
The Vatican will shelter two refugee families, the pontiff said Sunday.
