Who are the new priests?
Pope Francis' visit to the U.S. comes at a time when U.S. Catholic church attendance has plummeted, yet since Francis' elevation to the papacy in 2013, there has been an uptick in the number of men becoming priests. Pope Francis spends his last night in the U.S. at a seminary just outside Philadelphia. Here are the stories of some of its members studying to be the future leaders of the church.
