Pope Francis in video link with US groups

August 31, 2015

Pope Francis spoke with American audiences in three different locations on August 31, in a video-link event hosted by the ABC television network.

The Pontiff spoke with students at Cristo Rey High School, a Jesuit-run cooperative venture for students in inner-city Chicago; with parishioners in McAllen, Texas, an impoverished town on the Mexican border, and with participants in a Los Angeles program serving the homeless.

The "virtual audience" will be broadcast by ABC News on Friday, September 4.
