to Verona

Pope Francis will make his 36th apostolic journey abroad to Malta on April 2 & 3.

The theme of this visit is They Showed Us Unusual Kindness (Acts 28:2) . The visit will highlight the dangerous journeys displaced people embark upon when crossing the Mediterranean Sea.

The theme is also linked to the generous reception St. Paul received in 60 AD when he was shipwrecked upon the shores of Malta.

The Holy Father's visit will include a visit to the Grotto of St. Paul at the basilica in Rabat and a prayer meeting at the National Shrine of Ta'Pinu.

All this and more can be seen on Salt + Light TV.

On Saturday, May 18, the eve of Pentecost, Pope Francis will visit Verona for a one-day pastoral visit. The theme of his visit is "Justice and peace will embrace," a quotation from Psalm 85.

He will be greeted by the Bishop of Verona, the President of the Veneto Region, the prefect, and the mayor of Verona. After his arrival, Pope Francis will travel to the Basilica of St. Zeno of Verona for a meeting with priests and consecrated persons. After this, the pope will meet with a group of children and young people.

Later the pope is scheduled to arrive at Verona's Arena, where he will preside at a gathering entitled "Arena of Peace - Justice and Peace Will Embrace." 

After the gathering, Pope Francis will go to the Montorio Prison, where he will greet the prison officers, detainees, and volunteers. Following lunch with the detainees, His Holiness will leave the prison and go to the Bentegodi Stadium to preside over Mass. After Mass, he will depart for the Vatican.

You can watch the full visit in one continuous broadcast on Salt + Light TV and Salt + Light Plus beginning at 8:30 am ET / 5:30 am PT.
