Chaput confirms Pope Francis visit to Philadelphia

Philadelphia’s archbishop today confirmed that Pope Francis will come to Philadelphia for two or three days during the World Family Conference in September 2015.

Archbishop Charles Chaput said the pontiff told him more than once that he would attend the conference. It won’t be officially announced until about six months before, the archbishop told members of the Greater Northeast Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce during a luncheon at Knowlton Mansion.
