BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- There is just one day until Pope Francis arrives in New York City as part of his visit to the United States, and Fordham is making arrangements to get the University community as involved as possible.
In the days leading up to the pope’s visit, Fordham has been preparing “spiritually and pastorally” in every way it can, said Lito Salazar, SJ, executive director of campus ministry. “We are encouraging daily and Sunday Mass homilists to consider invoking Pope Francis’ words or commenting on his global pastoral ministry whenever relevant to unpacking Scriptures at liturgical celebrations,” Father Lito said.
“In addition, the intentions of the pope and his visit have been and will continue to be in the intercessory prayers of the faithful. The Holy Hour devotion set for Mondays will have the same intention.”

Watch the pope live
The pope’s address to the United Nations, which takes place Friday, Sept. 25 at 8:30 a.m., will also be live streamed from the McGinley lobby at Rose Hill; Lowenstein 2nd floor plaza at Lincoln Center; and Room 228 at Westchester.
In addition, students can enter into a lottery to win a ticket to that evening’s papal Mass at Madison Square Garden. The lottery can be found in the student tab at my.fordham.edu.
Students and community members will also have the opportunity to pray evening vespers along with the pope as he leads evening prayer at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Thursday, Sept 24. Beginning 6:45 p.m., the vespers will be streamed at University Church and Our Lady’s Chapel at Rose Hill and at Blessed Rupert Mayer, SJ Chapel at Lincoln Center.
Community service
On Saturday, Sept. 26, students are invited to participate in a community service project in honor of the pope’s visit. Participants will join Habitat for Humanity’s Pope Francis House in Yonkers to help construct homes.
“Care for the poor and the marginalized is a central theme of Pope Francis’ papacy, and using our gifts and talents to care for the needs of others is something that’s part of Fordham’s identity as a Catholic and Jesuit school,” said Conor O’Kane, director of campus ministry at Rose Hill.
“The pope has an authenticity and spiritual freedom that resonates with our students,” O’Kane said. “His leadership and emphasis on what it means to be a person of faith in the world today is a question that’s relevant to all of our students. So his messages have been animating all that we say and do here [in campus ministry].”

2 teen girls are charged in knifepoint robbery of cabby
By Michael Horowitz
BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- Two teenage girls were charged with robbery and menacing in a knifepoint theft from a cabdriver that occurred shortly after 4 a.m. last Tuesday.
Police identified the arrested teens as Amanda Santiago, 18, and 16-year-old Deeshea Shealy.
Police said that the two girls forced the cabdriver to hand over his money and property by holding a knife to his throat.
In addition to robbery and menacing, the girls were charged with theft of service and criminal possession of stolen property, police said.
Co-op City’s Public Safety officers, in hot pursuit of the suspects, reportedly arrested them after stopping them along a footpath on the Greenway between Buildings 10 and 25.
The Public Safety Department said that the 18-year-old suspect, who lives in the Debs Place townhouses, threatened to slit the cabdriver’s throat while her 16-year-old companion, from the Wallace Avenue area, watched.
The Public Safety officers who arrested the suspects were reportedly in the vicinity of where the crime took place at the time it occurred.
Public Safety Director Frank Apollo commended the officers for their pursuit and their swift arrests of the girls who allegedly threatened the life of the 42-year-old cabdriver who had transported them to Coop City.
The arrests of the two young girls raise a matter of concern in the community, namely the failure of parents or guardians to keep track of their children.
In addition, there is rising concern in the community that a criminal element among Co-op City’s young people is threatening to destroy the quality of life that shareholders have a right to expect in the neighborhood in which they live.
