VATICAN CITY: Once again, the arm of Pope Francis has reached out to the last, the least and the lost. This time it is his own home turf – Rome.
A Christmas gift of 4,000 Covid-19 swab kits from Slovakia to Pope Francis has been destined for the homeless of Rome.
The initiative led by the Office of Papal Charities, in collaboration with the Institute of Solidarity Medicine (IMES) and IFO San Gallicano and in agreement with Rome municipality, will make Covid-19 tests available for the homeless in the Italian capital.
These swabs are a gift from Slovakia to the Pope.
