Pope calls for alms for Cuba

PILGRIMS attending a Holy Thursday mass led by the Pope will be asked to make a donation to buy medicines for the sick in Cuba. The Pope, who recently visited the island, called on the United States to end its embargo against Cuba, insisting that trade bans hurt only the poor and sick. - Reuters, Rome
