Pope Francis meets with the homeless at DC’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral

After addressing the Joint Session of the US Congress, Pope Francis' schedule relaxes a little as he now has time to meet ordinary Americans before he flies to New York later in the day. He is heading to St. Patrick's Cathedral in Washington D.C., where he will meet the homeless beneficiaries of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington's St. Maria’s Meals program.

According to reports, the group will set up 55 tables for the homeless and needy to have lunch. Pope Francis is expected to bless the meal and interact with the diners.

The Vatican will livestream the event, which is expected to start at 11:10 p.m. Manila time. You can watch it here.
