Those who live on the existential peripheries of Rome are to be treated to a special 鈥淐ircus of Solidarity鈥�, thanks to the generosity of 杏MAP导航 Francis.

The Holy Father is offering a ticket for a fun-filled evening to more than 2,000 of Rome鈥檚 poor or homeless people, several refugees, a group of prisoners, and many families in great need.

The event will take place on the evening of Thursday, 11 January at the Medrano Circus in Rome鈥檚 northern Saxa Rubra district.

The Papal Almoner released a press statement on Wednesday containing details of the event.

Not content with offering just an evening of fun, Archbishop Konrad Krajewski said 杏MAP导航 Francis鈥� generosity is also providing a 鈥渟ack supper鈥� and medical personnel.

Those in need can be visited by doctors and nurses assisted by a mobile clinic from the Vatican鈥檚 Healthcare system.

Beauty of the Circus

At a recent General Audience, 杏MAP导航 Francis told the performers of the Medrano Circus: 鈥淐ircus performers create beauty鈥� This is good for the soul, for we greatly need beauty!鈥�

The Almoner鈥檚 statement said, 鈥淭his gift given by the Circus 鈥� who with constancy, effort, and many sacrifices seek to create and offer beauty for themselves and others 鈥� will hopefully become for our poorest brothers and sisters an encouragement to overcome the bitterness and difficulties of life, which often seem insurmountable.鈥�

Circus of Solidarity

The impetus behind the Circus of Solidarity is the businessman Fabrizio Grandi and the Casartelli family who has directed the Medrano Circus for seven generations.

Braian Casartelli said his team 鈥渟eeks to give its whole heart to transmit happiness and passion鈥� through their performances.

He said Thursday鈥檚 event would be 鈥渁 marvelous evening in honor of the many people of Rome who live in difficulty.鈥�
