Governor Corbett, Mayor Nutter and Archbishop Chaput arrive back home today after a visit to Rome where they got a couple of minutes with Pope Francis. Mayor Nutter presented Pope Francis with a St. Joe's t-shirt. The Philadelphia contingency invited the Pope to visit the city of brotherly love next year during the World Meeting of Families here.

Philadelphia's population grew again last year to 1,553,165. According to census data, that's 4,518 more people than the prior year and marks seven consecutive years of growth for the city. After several years of decline, Philadelphia has added 26,000 residents since 2006.

A recovery center for Philadelphia’s homeless has opened in the former chapel at Depaul House in East Germantown. This is the first of its kind in Philadelphia and offers a clean, safe place for homeless to recover from hospital visits. In other cities, recovery centers relieve strain from hospital emergency rooms and give the homeless a chance to fully recover from illness.

Sports
The 76ers could tie an NBA record tonight with a loss to the Houston Rockets. They would match the Cleveland Cavaliers who lost 26 games in a row.

Weather
Sunshine with a few clouds today. 47 in Center City.
