Pope Leo participated in a lunch at the Borgo Laudato si’ in Castel Gandolfo.
He shared a table with vulnerable guests, urged society to eliminate the causes of poverty and injustice, and said he came with a hunger for genuine charity.
The gathering was a component of a group of outreach events the new pontiff has organised since his election.
He also engaged with migrant labour groups in the Canary Islands.
His brother joined Donald Trump’s $60 million UFC‑linked White House birthday event, an event that showcased a mixed‑martial‑arts exhibition and captured global interest.
