The Holy See Press Office published the planned calendar with the celebrations that will be presided over by Pope Francis on 23 June. Among these, the beatification of John Paul I, also included.
Due to the announcement of the postponement of the Pope’s apostolic trip to Africa where he was to visit the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan, the Holy Father will celebrate a Eucharist in the Vatican with the Congolese community in Rome.
This Holy Mass is scheduled for Sunday, July 3 at 9:30 a.m. in Saint Peter’s Basilica.
On Sunday, September 4, Pope Francis will celebrate Mass with the rite of beatification of the Servant of God Pope John Paul I, known as the Pope with a smile.
