Cardinal Scola, Archbishop of Milan, announced the Pope\u2019s visit saying: \u201cthis is a sign of the Holy Father\u2019s affection and esteem for the Ambrosian Church, the city of Milan and the whole of Lombardy.\u201d \u201cWe want to show our gratitude to the Pope because he will come to confirm us in the faith,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>After having to postpone the trip earlier this year, because of an over-full schedule for the Jubilee of Mercy, Pope Francis will travel to Milan on 25 March. \u201cThis visit of the Holy Father is a sign of affection and esteem for the Ambrosian Church, the city of Milan and the whole of Lombardy,\u201d Milan\u2019s Archbishop, Cardinal Angelo Scola, said in a statement about the visit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to express to the Pope our gratitude because he will come to confirm us in the faith. We live from now on waiting for the Pope in prayer, in preparation for this great gift,\u201d\u00a0 the Archbishop added. Cardinal Scola also said that they would formulate \u201cthe program well\u201d and prepare themselves \u201cin the parishes, seeking to dialogue with this great city, with this plural reality,\u201d so that the Holy Father\u2019s presence \u201cis another factor of growth for Milan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pope Francis will also visit the Archdiocese of Genoa on 27 May, whose Archbishop is Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, President of the Italian Episcopal Conference. Like Milan, the visit to Genoa had already been planned for an earlier date, but was postponed due to the Pope\u2019s numerous commitments for the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. The Pope\u2019s visit will coincide with the 380th anniversary of Mary Queen of Genoa, a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1637.<\/p>\n<p>Cardinal Bagnasco made the announcement of the Pope\u2019s visit after celebrating Mass in the city\u2019s cathedral. He said the archdiocese would be starting a new pastoral year in which special emphasis would be placed on the liturgy and Eucharistic Adoration, prayer within the family, youth and education. \u00a0In this context the Pope\u2019s visit is \u201ca grace which Genoa awaits with joy\u201d, and the diocese is preparing \u201cin a spirit of communion and collaboration, to welcome Francis on 27 May\u201d said Bagnasco.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>\u00a0ACN Malta<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Francis will visit Milan and Genoa in 2017 &nbsp; The Holy See Press Office confirmed that Pope Francis will visit two prominent northern Italian cities in 2017.
