Last month Pope Francis, aged 86, made the first-ever visit of a pontiff to Mongolia, a country with a tiny Catholic population, sandwiched between Russia and China. The country has just 1,500 Catholics in the entire country. The Pope ended his five-day mission with a stop to inaugurate the House of Mercy, which provides health care to the most needy in the Mongolian capital as well as to the homeless, victims of domestic abuse and migrants.
