Pope Francis has just completed his 24th apostolic visit
outside Italy, which took him to Ireland, August 25-26. We bring you glimpses
of this 2-day visit.
Pope Francis visited Ireland this weekend on the occasion of
the Catholic Church’s 9th World Meeting of Families
(WMOF) which took place in Dublin, August 21-26. He also flew west
to County Mayo on day 2 to visit the national Marian Shrine of Knock.
The theme of the WMOF was on , “The Gospel of the Family:
Joy for the World”. The highlights of the 5-day event was the Festival of
Families Saturday evening at Croke Park Stadium and the concluding Holy
Mass on Sunday at Phoenix Park.
The Holy Father also condemned the abuse of children and
