A mobile "confession unit" on board a double-decker bus, 'the ‘Mercy Bus,’ has begun to tour Greater Manchester and Lancashire (UK) to reach people who do not go to church. It will visit shopping centers, prisons, homeless centers and housing estates every Saturday until Easter. The bus received a Papal blessing recently when one of its priests, Fr Frankie Mulgrew, met the Pope in Rome. "We were inspired by the Pope who, when he was as cardinal in Argentina, would celebrate open-air Masses in the poorest areas of his diocese," said Fr Mulgrew.
