Pope Francis donated $500,000 to Mexico-based projects to help migrant communities as media attention has faded, the Vatican said Saturday.
The funds will be distributed between 27 projects associated with 16 Mexican dioceses and congregations, all of which asked for help to continue providing food, lodging, and basic necessities to those fleeing their home countries through Mexico.
“In recent months, thousands of migrants have arrived in Mexico, having travelled more than 4,000 kilometers on foot and with makeshift vehicles from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. Men and women, often with young children, flee poverty and violence, hoping for a better future in the United States. However, the U.S. border remains closed to them,” said a press release from Peter's Pence, the organization handling the funds.
Peter’s Pence's collections are funds earmarked "to provide the Holy Father with the financial means to respond to those who are suffering as a result of war, oppression, natural disaster, and disease," according to its website.
The money is specifically meant to aid the 75,000 migrants who arrived in Mexico in 2018 as part of six caravans, according to a press release from Peter's Pence.

Most Liberal American Catholics love this Pope.
.........................................
An unspoken fact is that neither the Pope nor the LACs are actually Catholics: They just don’t realize it yet.
A lot of atheists love this Pope.
....................................
Yep, and a significant number of them go to Mass on Sunday!
Eternity for your soul does NOT depend on this Pope....don’t let him destroy you....the Catholic Church is WAY BEYOND this guy.
........................................
Well and truly said!
Stay away from any “church” that belongs to the commie-promoting National Council of Churches.
......................................
Excellent advice. Wish someone would post a list of those churches. I’ll try to find such a list myself.
and firing all the heavily armed swiss guards?
..........................................
Heavily armed? Unless they do concealed carry, their arms are limited to their spears!
Swiss Guards have state-of-the-art firepower, including H&K MP7s and Sig SG550 series rifles. Swiss Army training.
Liberals don’t care
So what?
><
You tell me.
BINGO!
Thats a mere few on show duty. You do not know what you are talking about unless you were being sarcastic.
my Comment was merely that liberal Catholic is an oxymoron
And
$500,000 is a pittance compared to what those parasites will end up costing us. I guess we have to wait for isis to smuggle a nuke over the border and detonate it in an American city before our government gets off their ass and fixes this disaster.
francis, barry, the little fruit Canada, etc....
Rather than donate, why doesn’t the Pope buy plane tickets to Rome for all of the immigrants who want to illegally enter the U.S.. I’m sure he has room at the Vatican.
The Pope aiding and abetting criminals to commit a crime. Never thought I’d see that.
“And...”
…..end of conversation.
I’m waiting for the free rides to Vatican City. Waiting...waiting...waiting...
Yes. And tear down the wall protecting the Vatican since he believes walls are immoral...for everyone else, that is.
Well Laplata. I will look forward to our next debate
Enjoy your weekend
Same here. There was no more to say in the last one and I’m sorry if I was short.
Have a good rest of the weekend.
Ummm. NO.
