It seems that Pope Francis is following the steps of Mother Teresa by offering around 1,500 needy and homeless people a pizza lunch at the Vatican after her canonization mass, the homeless people most of them who lives in a shelter which is run by Mother Teresa’s sisters of charity order, came to Rome overnight on buses all from across Italy to take part in Sunday’s Mass.
They’re getting seats of honor for the celebration and will then be served lunch in the lobby of the Vatican auditorium, a Neapolitan pizza maker brought at least 20 people and three pizza ovens with them to cook the lunch for the homeless people which served to the guests by some 250 sisters and priests of the sisters of charity order.
Throughout the night, pilgrims prayed at vigils in area churches and flocked before dawn to the Vatican under heavy security to try to get a good spot for the Mass that was expected to draw more than 100,000 people.
