These pilgrims are part of \u201cFratello.\u201d It is a worldwide organization dedicated to helping the most needy. It gained popularity after Pope Francis announced \u201cWorld Day of the Poor\u201d in 2016. <\/p>\n
These \u201cFratello\u201d pilgrims are from Saint Ambroise parish in Paris. There they help accommodate and find housing for those living in poverty; as well as assist migrants and other people living at a disadvantage. <\/p>\n
SEAN RYAN<\/strong> These pilgrims had received funding from their fellow parishioners to help them do this pilgrimage to Rome. <\/p>\n They had traveled by train from Paris; and each one of them are praying for a person who couldn't come. <\/p>\n For those who work with \u201cFratello,\u201d they do not see the people they help as poor or homeless but as family. <\/p>\n AUDREY BABOURAM<\/strong> It was very important for them to see the pope as it helped reaffirm and encourage them in all the work they are doing for the most needy. <\/p>\n SEAN RYAN<\/strong> They will now continue their pilgrimage in the Eternal City attending Mass together; and promoting more \u201cFratello's\u201d call for everyone to help the poor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 10, 2019.

\n\u201cWe want to bring together people who are in difficult situations.\u201d \u201cTo support people who are poor, who live on streets, who are living in isolation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe do not see them as homeless, we just see them as brothers and sisters. Some of us have more and it is to see how we can live together; and how we can help bring back people to the life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe has our support because this is what we want to do in our parish; and we have been doing it for many years; and also we have his support that he is supporting us spiritually and in many other ways with his prayers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
