Padraig, The last Pope to preside at the Legion's ordination Mass was St. John Paul II in 1990. I'm pretty sure Pope Francis has not carved out space to do likewise. Now that would be something! And unfortunately, we leave for home on Wednesday, 12/17, and will miss his Wednesday audience. My son, Benjamin, was blessed, however, to serve at the Christmas Midnight Mass in 2007, celebrated by Pope Benedict. Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
