Born on the feast of the caring Saint Francis of Assisi
It is only fitting that the President Emeritus of the Pontifical Council for the Care of Migrants and Itinerant People would be born on the feast of the caring Saint Francis of Assisi.

Fasting against the war in Iraq
John Paul II called for Friday, Dec. 14 2001, to be a day of fasting and prayer for peace. I arrived at the Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere, where several curial departments with offices in the nearby Piazza San Calisto had organized a service. These include the Council for Laity, Council for the Family, Cor Unum, the Council for Peace and Justice, the Council for Pastoral Care for Migrants, and the Council for Culture. By John L. Allen.
