Pope Francis, a descendant of Italian immigrants in Argentina, met with dozens of schoolchildren, many of them immigrants themselves, at Our Lady Queen of Angels School in East Harlem Friday afternoon. The pope, children, educational staff members, parents, and local officials delighted in the visit. Outside the school, children cheered and clapped for the pope, and posed for selfies with him. The Pope was visibly moved and excited by the reception he received. Inside, students sang a song for the pope and then presented him with various projects the children have been working on for weeks. Many of the projects reflected the pope's values on protecting the environment.
