Pope Francis will make a two-day apostolic visit to Morocco next year, the Vatican announced.
Accepting an invitation from Moroccan King Mohammed VI, the Pope will visit the cities of Rabat and Casablanca on March 30-31, the Vatican said in a statement released on November 13. A detailed schedule for the trip will be released later.
News of a possible visit by Pope Francis became public earlier in the year when Vincenzo Abbinante, Italian honorary consul to the Kingdom of Morocco, said that government authorities were coordinating preparations with the Vatican.
