Pope Francis paid
tribute Monday to the "effort and sacrifice" made by the Roman
Catholic Church in Communist Cuba and praised the role of
"mission houses" on the island.
"I know with how much energy and sacrifice the Church in
Cuba is working to bring to everybody, even in the most remote
places, the word and presence of Christ," the pontiff said in a
homily he delivered during a Mass he celebrated at the city of
Holguin.
"Deserving a special mention are the so-called 'mission
houses' that, given the scarsity of churches and priests, allow
many people to have a place for prayer, listening to the Gospel,
the catechism and community life," Francis said.
"These are little signs of the presence of God in our
neighbourhoods and a daily help," the pope said.
