During the show, Father Andrew talks as well about his recent visits to the Missions, and the great works of the Church among the poor and marginalized in these areas. Acknowledging Pope Francis' call to "embrace with tender affection the whole of humanity, especially the poorest, the weakest, the least important," Father Andrew tells Father Apostoli how U.S. Catholics are answering that call, by their prayers and support of the Pontifical Mission Societies.
EWTN will repeat the broadcast again on Monday, April 29, at 2 AM EDT and 9 AM EDT.
