The head of the Franciscan convent of St. Francesco a Ripa, Friar Stefano Tamburo, uses a tablet device to check the Kickstart page promoting the conservation works required in the cell that St. Francis of Assisi is believed to have used when visiting the convent in Rome, Friday, Feb. 28, 2014. The friars who run the St. Francis a Ripa church in Rome's Trastevere neighborhood are launching a Kickstarter online fundraising campaign Tuesday, March 11, 2014, to try to raise the $125,000 to restore the tiny cell where St. Francis stayed when he came to Rome to see the pope, The Associated Press has learned. Rather than ask for funding from the Italian government, which owns the church and is responsible for its upkeep, the friars decided on this more democratic crowdfunding initiative thinking it more in keeping with the Franciscan tradition of seeking alms for just what they need, spreading the faith as they beg, and making sure the poor are the priority.

FILE -- In this file photo taken on March 13, 2013, Pope Francis waves to the crowd from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, the day of his election. From his gestures to his simple soundbites to his emphasis that priests are called to serve, Pope Francis has endeared himself to the public, radically shifted the paradigm of the papacy and reminded the world that the church's mission is one of mercy.
