Pope Francis Visited Hungary

Pope Francis celebrated the concluding Mass for the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress in Budapest, Hungary.

Before the Mass, Pope Francis met Hungary’s bishops: ‘Be close to God, each other, priests and your flock’, he said. The pope urged them to be witnesses of fraternity.

The head of the Catholic Church also met President János Áder and Viktor Orbán, Prime Minister of Hungary on Sunday, discussing with them the role of the Church in the country, the protection of the environment, and the promotion of the family.

After Budapest, Pope Francis travelled to Slovakia for an official papal visit.
