Papal Visit Relocates Homeless, WMOF Jacket Gift To Pope, Tioga Pope Watching Party

The city of Philadelphia is relocating homeless people in Center City in preparation of the Papal visit. If you walk past Love Park or many other areas in center city, one of the things that is noticeably missing is the presence of the homeless people who frequent those places. Amir Robertson is a homeless outreach specialist. He said right now shelters in the city are 200 percent past capacity, and the way officials are treating people still on the street goes against the message of love and helping others that the Pope often preaches about.

One of the gifts that Pope Francis will be receiving while in Philadelphia is a jacket made by a retired seamstress from Southwest Philadelphia. Dorothy Franklin of St. Cyprian Church in Southwest Philadelphia made a white zipper up, letter style jacket. It has red, white and blue striped trim on the neck, wrists and waist. On the back it reads “World Meeting ofFamilies . Sept.22-27, 2015. Phila. PA.”
The jacket is at Saint Charles Seminary and will be given to Pope Francis when he visits there over the weekend.

A non-profit located in the Tioga section of North Philadelphia is throwing a huge Pope watching party this weekend for those unable to venture to the parkway for the festivities. Mercy Neighorhood Ministries services Tioga residents ages 2 to 105, with both child care and adult day care programs. Located at 20th and W. Venango, Mercy staff will open the family center and serve free food and rig up a big screen projector to show Papal weekend events.

iRadioPhilly will carry LIVE BROADCASTS from the World Meeting of Families Events, Festival and the Papal Visit. For more information, go to Papal Visit Broadcast
