Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Jan 29, 2016 / 18:46 pm
Mexican artist Pedro Francisco Rodríguez is asking for the public's help in making a larger-than-life sculpture of Pope Francis to commemorate his historic visit to Mexico next month.
How can the general population help? By donating millions of scraps of bronze, including old keys.
Fr. Hesiquio Trevizo, spokesman for the Diocese of Ciudad Juarez, said at a recent press conference that people can donate their scraps at ten stations located in public areas throughout the city, such as malls.
Any bronze still needed for the project will be donated by local businesses.
