Pope Francis indeed is coming to America; New Orleans would be a nice southern stop!

Pope Francis Is Coming to America!

July 25, 2014 by Kathy Schiffer

Big news today from Philadelphia! We’ve just learned that Pope Francis has accepted the invitation from Archbishop Charles Chaput to come to Philly in 2015, and to attend the World Meeting of Families. Organized by the Pontifical Council for Families, the World Meeting has as its theme “The Gospel of the Family, Resource of Humanity.” This theme will emphasize the good news of the family and its intrinsic value to the good of society.
Archbishop Chaput made the announcement before his homily July 24, at the Opening Mass of the Tekakwitha Conference in Fargo, North Dakota. The World Meeting of Families will be held September 22-27, 2015; and Pope Francis plans to be present Friday through Sunday (September 25-27).
