Pope Leo took part in a simple lunch at the Borgo Laudato si’ in Castel Gandolfo.
He dined with vulnerable guests, called on the public to end the causes of poverty and injustice, and said he came with a hunger for real charity.
The gathering was included in a series of outreach events the new pontiff has staged since his election.
He also met migrant workers’ groups in the Canary Islands.
His brother was present at Donald Trump’s $60 million UFC‑linked White House birthday event, a party that featured a mixed‑martial‑arts exhibition and drew international attention.
