Pope visits Jesuits, ends Asian trip

TOKYO: Pope Francis wrapped up his visit to Japan in a very personal way on Tuesday, spending the morning with his Jesuit confreres in the community that would have been his own had his dream to be a missionary come true.

Francis celebrated morning Mass in the chapel of the Jesuit-run Sophia University and visited retired and sick priests before delivering a speech on Jesuit education in the final event of his weeklong Asia pilgrimage.
