Pope Francis Receives Warm Welcome At His 'Home Away From Rome'

By Jim Melwert 

WYNNEWOOD, PA (CBS) -- It was quite the celebration as Pope Francis arrived at his "home away from Rome," at the Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary.

There was a huge cheer as the now famous Fiat pulled into the driveway.

The seminarians sang 'Domine Svaum Fac' to Pope Francis, a song they describe as their anthem, translated as Lord save our father, and listen to us on the day we call on you.

After that, a surprise, as the seminarians, prompted by Seminary Rector, Bishop Timothy Senior sang 'Happy Birthday' to Archbishop Charles Chaput, celebrating his 71st birthday today.

Then posing for a photo, some quick greets and the pope went into the Seminary for some much deserved rest in between today's events.
