Pope Francis celebrated his 77th birthday on Tuesday with four homeless people — and one of their dogs — who live on the street in Rome outside the Vatican walls.
It was an apt celebration for the TIME’s 2013 Person of the Year, who has championed the plight of the poor and developed a reputation as an activist and reformer. The group attended the Pope’s daily mass and then joined the Pontiff over breakfast at the dining room of the Vatican City hotel where he lives, the Associated Press reports. One of the men was holding his dog when he was introduced to the Pope after Mass.
