Pope Francis Hands Out Candies and Rosaries to Children during Joyful Visit to Community of Circus Workers!

Pope Francis visited Luna Park in Ostia Lido (southwest of Rome) and met carnival and circus workers who live there assisted by Sisters Geneviève Jeanningros and Anna Amelia who provide pastoral care to them.
Pope Francis while on his July "summer vacation" spent the afternoon of Wednesday 31 July visiting with workers and those who offer pastoral assistance to them at a historic amusement park just about an hour from Rome.
The Pope stopped for a few moments on his arrival, making the sign of the cross, before the image of the Blessed Mother, where a sign read "We need Our Lady to be our protector."

Arriving in his Fiat car at around 3.05pm in 35-degree heat (95° Farenheit), Pope Francis was greeted by French Sister Geneviève Jeanningros, a member of the Little Sisters of Jesus for over 56 years now. She was accompanied by her fellow Sister Anna Amelia. The Little Sisters of Jesus draw their inspiration from the writings and witness of Saint Charles de Foucauld who made service to his poorest brothers and sisters his life passion. Sister Geneviéve has met Pope Francis on previous occasions, bringing various groups she has assisted over the years to meet the Pope at the conclusion of the Wednesday General Audience.
Exclaiming "what a great joy you give us!," Sister Geneviéve together with the parish priest of the nearby Regina Pacis parish, Fr. Giovanni Vincenzo Patané, brought the Pope into a room used for children's birthday parties. Thunderous applause resounded as Pope entered with his wheelchair and his assistants holding candies and rosaries to hand out to everyone.
The Pope said a few words, saying "I thank you all for what you do to make people smile...thank you for helping to bring joy.”
