ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis will take his usual July break from most of his activities, according to the Prefecture of the Papal Household in a statement released on Friday.

As he has for years, the Holy Father will suspend General Audiences, as well as most activities and other meetings, during July to allow for a period of rest.

However, as he has always done in the past, the ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ will continue to pray the Angelus on Sunday at noon with the faithful in St. Peter’s Square.

The ÐÓMAPµ¼º½'s General Audiences will resume on Wednesday, August 7.

The General Audiences in August are often held in the Vatican's Paul VI Hall due to the intense Roman heat.

The following month, the Holy Father is scheduled to make two Apostolic Journeys, the first being to Asia and Oceania, on September 2-13, and the next being later in the month, to Belgium and Luxembourg, on September 26-29.
