POPE Francis has chosen to celebrate one of the traditional masses in the run up to Easter at a juvenile prison.
On March 28, Francis will lead Holy Thursday mass in the Casal del Marmo prison in Rome, during which he will wash the inmates' feet.
In a statement on Thursday, the Vatican said that in his previous role as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, the Argentine-born Jorge Mario Bergoglio used to celebrate Holy Thursday mass in old people's homes or in prisons.
"With the celebration in Casal del Marmo, the Pope is continuing this use," the Vatican said.
Since his election last week, Francis has often broken protocol and displayed a preference for simplicity. He has shunned elaborate papal clothing, refused to ride a limousine and called for "a poor Church, for the poor."
According to a report in the Italian daily La Stampa, the new pope will occupy a smaller portion of the apartment that was used by his predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "There is room for 300 people here," he reportedly said when he saw it.
Francis is living temporarily in Santa Marta, the guesthouse that hosted cardinals during the conclave, until restoration work is completed in the papal apartments.
On Thursday, Francis held audiences with German cardinal Paul Josef Cordes and two fellow Argentinians - Monsignor Carlos Maria Nannei, a member of the Opus Dei, a conservative Catholic group, and artist Adolfo Perez Esquivel, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.
