WOAI
An announcement today from the Vatican opens the possibility of a visit by Pope Francis to Texas in 2015, Newsradio 1200 WOAI reports.
The Vatican says the Pope will travel to the United States in September to attend the ‘World Meeting of Families,’ which is a Catholic Church sponsored event to stress the importance of traditional families. It will be held in Philadelphia.
The Vatican also said the trip will include ‘a stop at the US Mexico border.’
The announcement didn’t indicate which of the four U.S. states that border Mexico will host the Pontiff.
“We have not been contacted by the Vatican and had no indication one way or the other,” Archdiocese Spokesman Deacon Pat Rodgers said.
