Pope's Schedule for Apostolic Journey to Asia and Oceania
By Francesca Merlo
Four countries in less than two weeks: September will be a busy month for Pope Francis, and for the faithful of the four countries preparing to welcome him as he visits them on his 45th Apostolic Journey abroad: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore.
Departing from Rome on 2 September, Pope Francis will first make his way to Indonsesia, landing in the capital, Jakarta. Then, on 6 September, he will travel to Port Moresby to greet the faithful of the Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea, where he will remain until 9 September. From there he will fly to Dili, the capital city of Timore Leste. Then, from Dili, Pope Francis will travel to Singapore for the final leg of his journey, from 11 to 13 of September, on which day he will return home, back to Rome.
