(ANSA) - Rome, September 5 - Pope Francis on Wednesday sent
ice cream to migrants from the Diciotti coast guard ship who are
now guests at a Church-run migrant centre at Rocca di Papa south
of Rome.
Papal Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski brought them the
pope's blessing and stayed to have lunch with them, after which
he gave them the gelato.
"It's the Holy Father's blessing for them," he told SIR news

centre.
The migrants were held aboard the Diciotti for 10 days by
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini who is under investigation for
kidnapping.
