“East Harlem is a thriving, inspiring and diverse community filled with people from all over the world and we’re honored that Pope Francis will be visiting Our Lady Queen of Angels School in the fall. Whether it is fighting global poverty, advocating for immigrants or his historic stance on global climate change, Pope Francis has been an international leader in the fight for social justice and we’re thrilled he will be bringing that message to East Harlem. I thank Cardinal Dolan for his advocacy in encouraging the Papal visit and I know the community looks forward to welcoming Pope Francis in the fall.”
