Pope Francis’ second day in Budapest, Hungary, included a visit Saturday morning with children and adults with visual impairments and other disabilities.
Catholics with disabilities delivered to Pope Francis on Wednesday a report they prepared for the Synod on Synodality.
‘I’m in debt to people with disabilities,’ said Cardinal Grech. ‘One of them led me on the path of a priestly vocation.’
The pope underlined that the Church in particular is called to help those with disabilities to “make their voices heard.”
The French association, Voir Ensemble (Seeing Together), was founded in 1927 by Father Yves Mollat, a blind Jesuit priest.
The pope issued a message marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
