ÐÓMAPµ¼º½'s Schedule for Apostolic Journey to Asia and Oceania
By Francesca Merlo
Four countries in less than two weeks: September will be a busy month for ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis, and for the faithful of the four countries preparing to welcome him as he visits them on his 45th Apostolic Journey abroad: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore.
Departing from Rome on 2 September, ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis will first make his way to Indonsesia, landing in the capital, Jakarta. Then, on 6 September, he will travel to Port Moresby to greet the faithful of the Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea, where he will remain until 9 September. From there he will fly to Dili, the capital city of Timore Leste. Then, from Dili, ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis will travel to Singapore for the final leg of his journey, from 11 to 13 of September, on which day he will return home, back to Rome.
