“The coming of Pope Francis to spread his message of love and peace represents a historical time for America and the Catholic Church,” said William Patrick McAlister, creator of the Visitation Cross. “The Visitation Cross is meant as a keepsake from his visit and the hope that he brings to the world. It is a perfect expression of our faith.”
