The Pope was instrumental in establishing the Scholas Occurrentes while he served as Archbishop of Buenos Aires. He heard a briefing on the group's latest projects, which now involve 400,000 young people associated with the organization.
Among other projects, the group announced plans to sponsor a celebrity soccer game at the Olympic Stadium in Rome: a "Match for Peace."
