St Vincent de Paule Home for the elderly has issued a call for volunteers to help the elderly who will be taken outside to greet the Pope as he is driven by.

The home said that since the number of elderly people wishing to greet the Pope was growing, it was feared that staff could not keep up.

Those wishing to help should phone on 2123 8270 or frances.asciak@gov.mt

Mass will be celebrated at the Home at 4.15 p.m. followed by a parade by the scouts at 5 p.m.

The Pope is expected to arrive near the Home in the Pope Mobile at about 5.45 p.m.
