Pope's special blessing for asylum seekers at Napier Barracks

For the second time this year, Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti, the Pope's representative to Great Britain, visited asylum seekers housed in a former army barracks in Kent to bring the Holy Father's special blessing and greetings to them as they seek the prospect of a better life without persecution. The Apostolic Nuncio saw Pope Francis' simple Christian gesture as a sign of solidarity and hope.
