Papal greeting

Pope Francis June 23 greets the president of Serra International’s U.S. council, Greg Schwietz of St. Leo the Great Parish in Omaha, at the lay apostolate’s 75th international convention in Rome. Past Serra International President Tim O’Neill of Christ the King Parish in Omaha also was among those greeted by the pope, who praised members of the group as "special friends," particularly to seminarians and priests.
