Vatican offers free showers, shaves to homeless people

Homeless people lined up off St Peter’s Square to take advantage of Pope Francis’s latest charitable initiative: A free shave and shower.

Mauro Casubolo, 49, was one of the first clients as the Pope’s barbershop opened in the public restrooms just off the Bernini Colonnade.

His chin was still red from the shave — his first in three weeks — but he was grateful.
