Wuerl is in Rome this week at the head of a delegation from the Papal Foundation – a US lay organization that supports the charitable works of the Holy Father. As part of their visit to Rome this week, Cardinal Wuerl and several delegates from the Foundation toured the Institute for the Works of Religion – the IOR.
