Pope thanks Papal Foundation for supporting Church's mission (Vatican News)

On April 28, Pope Francis received a 100-member delegation of the Papal Foundation. The charity, founded in 1988 and based in Pennsylvania, funds projects selected by the Pontiff.

“Your charitable outreach continues to extend to those on the peripheries of society who live in material, and frequently spiritual, poverty,” the Pope said. “At the same time, as we are witnessing in these days the devastating effects of war and conflict, you increasingly see the need to provide care and humanitarian assistance to its victims.”
