The first stop is at Pope Francis' childhood home in Flores neighborhood, where he lived with his parents and siblings. Then move on to his early educational institutions like the College of Our Lady of Mercy and the Jesuit Salvador University along with its church. See the Basílica de San José de Flores where Pope used to go when he was young. At age 17, he went to confession to this Church and that was when he received his "divine call" and began serving the Church. As he said: "(at that exact moment) I immersed myself in God's mercy". In this Church, Jorge Bergoglio decided to enter the priesthood.
Continuing this tour, we will see the "Basílica de María Auxiliadora y San Carlos" where Pope Francis took baptism. We will also know the history as we have a panoramic view of San Lorenzo de Almagro soccer Club, which the Pope Francis is a passionate fan. Visit the San Ignacio de Loyola Church in Montserrat neighborhood, built by the Jesuits in 1675. Actually It is the oldest church preserved in Buenos Aires and is also part of the historical-cultural complex "Manzana de las Luces".
Later, we will continue on to the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral located in front of Plaza de Mayo. This is the main Catholic Church in Buenos Aires, a building of the XVI century, which was declared a historical monument in 1942. It is the Cathedral where the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Bergoglio, gave important masses. It was also the site where the devout followers of Pope Francis waited to hear if he would succeed Pope Benedicto XVI.
