The walk will start “following the passage of our Father Bishop Jorge, our Pope Francis, who made us look from the periphery the entire city of Buenos Aires, and now as Pope made us look from the peripheries of the world our church, and made us go through the same path that we are going to go today: go to the squares, go to jail, go to the hospital, go to the villa of the priest team of the popular villas and neighborhoods.

“Come to share this walk to relive the good times with our Father Bishop Jorge Bergoglio, our beloved Pope Francis,” he summoned.
