Catholic Church leaders officially announced on Monday the visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines next year.
In a pastoral letter, Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president Archbishop Socrates Villegas said the Pope will visit areas devastated by super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), “God willing at the beginning of next year, 2015."
Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle said the Vatican would release the exact date of the visit either by the end of July or early August while the schedule and itinerary of the pontiff's visit will be released by November.
"The Vatican officials organizing the visit of the pope came to Tacloban and Manila. They would report to the Holy Father and the office in charge of the papal visit. We don’t know what will happen next, we would wait," Tagle said at a press briefing at the end of the three-day 109th Plenary Assembly in Manila.
