Pope Francis was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936. His father, Mario Jose was a railway worker and his mother Regina Maria Sivori was a housewife. Jorge grew up with two brothers and two sisters. When he was younger, Jorge wanted to be a chemist, but then God called him to become a priest. He joined the Jesuits and was ordained in 1969. In 1992, he was ordained a bishop and in 1998 he became the Archbishop of Buenos Aires. In 2001 he was made a cardinal by Pope John Paul II. In all these positions, Jorge served his people with faith and love. Pope Francis was elected by the College of Cardinals on March 13, 2013 on the fifth ballot.

At age 76, he was installed on March 19, 2013, the Feast of Saint Joseph, as the new leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. He is the first Jesuit pope, and the first pope from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere. Since his papacy began, Pope Francis has been full of surprises. His unprecedented openness and genuine willingness and even determination to practice what he preaches, have captured the hearts of Catholics and non-Catholics alike. The Jubilee Year of Mercy he declared has people all over the world re-thinking their attitudes of mercy towards one another. Children are being taught about the works of mercy more than ever and people are turning out to lend a hand in record numbers
