Before Pope Francis died, this is where he directed his remaining money to go
The late Pope Francis donated all his remaining money to a youth rehabilitation project inside a Roman prison in one of his final acts as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Before his death last month, Francis withdrew all the money from his personal bank account to support a pasta factory that employs current and former inmates from the Casal del Marmo detention center, according to several reports. Advertisement The factory is called Pastificio Futuro, and it was developed 'from the desire to transform hope in the future,' according to its website. The project was started by Gustolibero Onlus, a social cooperative, to answer Pope Francis's call to people: 'Don't let yourselves be robbed of hope,' according to the website. Francis died of a stroke and cardiac arrest at 88 on Easter Monday. Before his death, Francis was battling double pneumonia after a series of health challenges in recent years.

Toward the end of his life, he continued efforts to help and uplift those who were incarcerated, including the opening of a Holy Door at the Rebibbia prison, which is an Italian prison intended for rehabilitation and social reintegration of inmates, according to the National Catholic Reporter.

He was elected pope in 2013 after the unprecedented retirement of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI. He entered the priesthood at the Diocesan Seminary of Villa Devoto in Argentina. 3 Francis withdrew all of the money he had from his bank account and gave it to Pastificio Futuro, a pasta factory which was developed 'from the desire to transform hope in the future,' according to its website.

The same year, he was appointed as a provincial for the order. In 1992, Pope John Paul II appointed Bergoglio as titular Bishop of Auca and as an auxiliary bishop of Buenos Aires. This was done at the request of Cardinal Antonio Quarracino, archbishop of Buenos Aires, who consecrated him to the episcopacy. Bergoglio proved vital to the nation's Catholic community, and he was quickly raised to the dignity of coadjutor archbishop of Buenos Aires, serving alongside Quarracino and taking over the archdiocese in its entirety after Quarracino's death the following year. 3 Francis died at the age of 88 from a stroke and cardiac arrest.
