<\/a>The world watched and celebrated this week as Pope Francis was installed as our new Holy Father. To mark this momentous occasion and to help the faithful commemorate Pope Francis\u2019 Pontificate, the Pontifical Mission Societies have launched the \u201cPope Moving\u201d campaign<\/a>:<\/p>\n- \n
- Our Holy Father has indicated that he wants us to celebrate his inauguration as Pope by performing acts of charity for the poor and those in need. As a concrete act of solidarity, we invite you to see the world as the Pope does \u2013 through the eyes of those struggling to make ends meet on a daily basis.<\/li>\n
- Modeling the Pope\u2019s love for the \u201cleast among us\u201d and moving forward on our call to love neighbor, we seek your support. Each donation will be converted into funds to support transportation costs for poor and low-income communities in the United States and around the world. Those costs will include bus passes, train tickets, bicycles or a gallon of gas for those in need of a little help to \u201ckeep moving.\u201d<\/li>\n
- Each dollar donated will be used by the Pontifical Mission Societies or Catholic Relief Services to help someone get where they need to be \u2013 for work, a job interview, a medical appointment, a ride to school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The beauty of #PopeMoving<\/a> and this opportunity to give is its relevance to this special moment in our Church\u2019s history. #PopeMoving<\/a> is viral and social, but also relatable to a simple everyday life struggle \u2014 the need for transportation.
