A DAY AT THE CIRCUS COURTESY OF POPE FRANCIS

Pope Francis has arranged an outing for about 2,000 homeless people and refugees who will attend a circus performance in Rome.

Circo Medrano, an Italian circus group, offered 2,100 free places for the Pope's guests.

The invitation is part of the Holy Father’s ongoing outreach to the poor, homeless, refugees and incarcerated in Rome, via the Vatican's almsgiving office.

Those invited by the Vatican to attend the circus will also receive a free medical check-up and a sack lunch.

In the past few years, the Pope also has opened laundromats for the poor and facilities that have showers, barber salons and medical services.
