Pope Francis has implemented a financial bonus for Vatican employees with three or more children

Pope Francis introduces monthly bonus for large families amid mixed reactions from Vatican employees

The new measure, announced by the Holy See’s Press Office on January 15, reflects Pope Francis’ ongoing advocacy for family welfare. The bonus will continue until children reach the age of 18 or 24 if they remain in education, aligning Vatican policies with those of several European countries that provide substantial benefits for large families.

Pope’s baptism of 21 children in the Sistine Chapel

The annual tradition of baptizing the children of Vatican staff began in 1981 under Pope John Paul II. While the first ceremonies were held in the Pauline Chapel, the Sistine Chapel has hosted this sacred event since 1983. Pope Francis has carried forward this legacy, adding his own touch of pastoral care and accessibility.
