Pope visits Lesvos

Pope Francis will visit the Greek island of Lesbos refugees on April 16.

Tens of thousands of refugees, mostly Syrians have searched the island in recent months in an attempt to escape the horrors of the civil war in their country. The Pope has repeatedly broken a lance for the reception of refugees. He specifically called upon to include migrant families the Catholic churches in Europe. The Vatican issued last year by example and caught himself a small group of Syrian refugees.
