Pope meets Philippine Jesuit priests

Pope Francis - the first Jesuit to become the Catholic Church's head - met with 40 Filipino Jesuits at the Apostolic Nunciature on Taft Avenue in Manila Friday evening .

 

The Pope normally meets his fellow Jesuits in the places that he visits, Vatican Press Office director Father Federico Lombardi said at a press conference at the Diamond Hotel.

 

Lombardi did not reveal what was discussed during the meeting.

Meanwhile, the Vatican Radio forwarded a tweet, originally from Father Antonio Spadaro SJ, of the meeting.

 

On Saturday, the Pope is expected to travel to Leyte, one of the areas devastated by super typhoon Yolanda in November 2013. — DVM, GMA News
