Pope Visits St. Joseph's University Sunday Afternoon
Pope Francis made a surprise schedule change Sunday afternoon: He added a stop at St. Joseph's University. The pope arrived shortly before 3 p.m., on his way to the Mass on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The pope was to meet with campus officials, students and religious leaders and visit the university’s newly dedicated statue, "Synagoga and Ecclesia in Our Time." About 700 to 800 people are gathered around the statue, waiting.
