"Pope Francis Set to Visit Marseille in September"

Pope Francis is set to travel to Marseille in September for a two-day visit to close the "Mediterranean Meetings," which will bring together bishops and young people from the Mediterranean basin. This will be his 44th Apostolic Journey abroad. During his visit, he will meet with President Emmanuel Macron, address the final session of the meetings, and preside over a marian prayer and Holy Mass. The visit marks the first time a Pope has visited Marseille since 1533 and is part of Pope Francis' ongoing efforts to promote dialogue and encounter in the Mediterranean region.
