Le Pont makes it all the way to the Vatican!

Pope Francis received a very special gift from Le Pont, a home for asylum seekers. The Holy Father accepted a t-shirt with the inscription, "Plus de ponts, moins de murs" (More bridges, less walls), delivered to him personally by the person who initiated the project, Alessandra Santopadre, on her recent visit to Rome.
