He acknowledges that a lot has changed in a span of twenty years

takes the responsibility with a lot of humility and courage and is doing his
level best to coordinate a team that is working to ensure that His Holiness
Pope Francis Visit is not just a success but an opportunity of Grace and
Evangelization for the Millions of Catholics and Non Catholics who look forward
