In case you haven’t heard, the Pope is coming!  Pope Francis will be arriving in the United States on Tuesday September 22, 2015 for a 6-day trip through Washington DC, New York City and Philadelphia.  Pope Francis will be the fourth Pope to the United States, and the third to meet the U.S. President during a visit.

Your interests in learning of where the Pope will be during this visit may be simply to avoid the traffic that comes with anything related to a Papal visit!  After all, in January 2015, his mass in Manila, Philippines was attended by over 6 million people!
