Debora Dunini – Vatican City

“A man of truth, spirituality and righteousness.” Thus, Pope Francis, Sur Katrina Garovalo, 93, remembers the religious institute of the Poins Aires, the poor sisters in San Jose. In the past, before the Pope was elected, when he came to Rome, George Mario Bergelio visited the institute’s home where, at that time, was superior. In this house, Father Maria Bernarda Delaamaca, the Pope’s friend for many years since Argentina. Pope Francis recalls himself this religious who died in 2001, because of the “close -up and seminars” charisma. In addition, the Romanian stage for the reason for overcoming this religious is currently continuing.
