So...there's this Francis guy. And he's moving around the United States.

Pope Francis has touched down on our shores and has offered us much to reflect on. Review the texts of his homilies and speeches; stream live video of his present events. All on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops wesbite.

During both his address from the White House lawn and the Capitol, Pope Francis made mention of the gift and plight of immigrants. The largest charitable organization in the world -- read: the Catholic Church -- offers spiritual and physical aid to those in trying cirumstances.

One such group is Caritas International, offering help to the most needy all over the globe. Learn more about their mission.
