Sailor Circus senior Silas Bichler’s wish came true by the Make-A-Wish Foundation when he and his family traveled to Rome, Italy to meet Pope Francis and take a tour of the Vatican. Silas, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth received a blessing from the Pope and was even given special permission to touch the tomb of Pope Saint John Paul II. "We all felt incredibly blessed to be on this journey with Silas," said Tonia Bichler, Silas' mother. "Silas was ready to pack weeks in advance. All he had talked about for months was meeting Pope Francis." She went on to say even though the trip was short, it was one that will continue to inspire Silas and his family.
