Vatican
City, 17 July 2014 (VIS) – Pope Francis will visit the city of
Italian city of Caserta on 26 and 28 July, the Holy See Press Office
confirmed today. In the afternoon of Saturday 26, upon invitation by
the bishop of the diocese Giovanni D'Avise, he will meet with the
Catholics of the city and celebrate the Mass of St. Ann, probably in
the park of the Royal Palace of Caserta. The Holy Father will return
to the Vatican that night and on Sunday 27 he will pray the Angelus
with the faithful in St. Peter's Square, as usual. On Monday, 28

POPE
FRANCIS RECEIVES AN AUTOGRAPHED “ALBICELESTE” SHIRT
Vatican
City, 17 July 2014 (VIS) – The players of the Argentine national
football team have given Pope Francis an “Albiceleste” shirt
signed by all the members of the team. Although Argentina fell at the
final hurdle during the final of the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, losing
1:0 to Germany in extra time, the team said they were confident the
Pope thought of them throughout the tournament.
A
large-scale wall photo of the team with the Pope was installed by the
Asociacion de Futbol Argentino (AFA) at the Brazilian sports complex
where the team trained during the World Cup, a snapshot taken when
the team visited Pope Francis in the Vatican, on the occasion of the
friendly match against Italy in his honour.
