Pope Francis Through the Years
"With the help of technology, Pope Francis will extend a virtual embrace to others around the world who have disabilities and special needs," Google said in a blog post announcing the event.
The discussion will be broadcast on the Google+ page of Scholas Ocurrentes, an independent educational group Pope Francis "has entrusted with the mission of uniting schools worldwide, regardless of race, gender, class, religion or sexual orientation," according to Google.
The chance to digitally hang with the pope will happen Thursday at 10am ET. Francis previously hosted a hangout in September.
