Encountering Pope Francis: Monsignor Kevin Irwin

Several Catholic University faculty members have personally encountered Pope Francis. Below is one in a series of stories on their encounters.

Although they did not greet him personally, Monsignor Kevin Irwin and David Dawson Vasquez were two of the first CUA employees to be in the same room with Pope Francis after his election. They were fortunate enough to attend the Holy Father’s first public audience on March 16, 2013. Monsignor Irwin blogged about his experiences in Rome during the papal transition.
