- Pope Francis attends student play on how the pandemic has affected young people

Pope Francis left the Vatican on Thursday to attend a theatrical performance in Rome by students on how the pandemic has affected young people.
The pope met with the Italian Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi and a group of young people from 41 countries at the International Pontifical College Maria Mater Ecclesiae in Rome on Nov. 25.
During the visit, the pope watched a show called “The faces of the pandemic,” in which performers covered their faces with decorated white masks.
