Pope Francis To Visit The U.S. In 2015

A pontiff who has long championed human kindness � sneaking off to break bread with the homeless as an archbishop and washing the feet of young prisoners early in his papacy � is coming to the City of Brotherly Love. Pope Francis confirmed Monday that he will make his first papal visit to the United States with a trip to Philadelphia next September for the World Meeting of Families, a conference held every three years in a different city to celebrate the importance of family.
