On the morning of August 3, the Pope received a pilgrimage group from different Christian faiths in Turkey at the Holy See Embassy in Lisbon. They thanked the Pope for his assistance after the earthquake.
(Vatican News Network) On the morning of August 3, Pope Francis met with college students and young people from schools in Lisbon, Portugal, and then met with about 40 young people of different religious beliefs and living environments at the Holy See Embassy. They are pilgrims from Turkey, which was hit by an earthquake in early February this year. The youths were accompanied by the Vicar of the Apostolic Vicariate of Anatolia, Turkey.
A statement from the Holy See Press Room said the young people thanked the Pope for his help after the earthquake. The Pope expressed his concern for those who suffered from the devastation caused by the earthquake and saw their courage and the challenges they face “in rebuilding, rebuilding lives”. The meeting lasted about half an hour and ended with the recitation of Our Father. The interview also celebrated the birthday of a Turkish young woman who turned 23 that day.
