Vatican officials offered to house a homeless
woman who gave birth near St. Peter’s Square
on Wednesday.
Italian police found the woman while patrolling
the area—she had given birth on a piece of
cardboard around 2 a.m. Wednesday,
according to CBS News.
Officers covered the mother and child in their
jackets to protect them from the near freezing
temperatures, later taking them to a nearby
hospital.
The woman received a visit from Monsignor
Konrad Krajewski, who carries out Pope
Francis’ charity missions. He offered her
space at a home owned by the Vatican for
mother and babies in need.
According to a Vatican spokesman, the
woman has not decided if she will accept the
offer.
