Millions of pilgrims flock to the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Liniers each year around St. Cajetan’s August 7th feast day, to ask for bread, and the work by which to get it with dignity.
In his Message, addressed to the President of the Bishops’ Conference of Argentina, Archbishop José Maria Arancedo of Santa Fe, Pope Francis says, “[O]n this feast of San Cajetan, may all the Bishops find ways to accompany our brothers and sisters, who ask for bread and work.”
