Known for his humility and concern for the poor, Pope Francis has been an inspiration to millions of Catholics and non-Catholics alike since he became the Church’s first Jesuit pope in 2013.

In Bringing Lent Home with Pope Francis, popular creator and EWTN host Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle , offers Pope Francis as a guide through Lent.
