The World Meeting of Families will take place in Dublin Aug.
21-26 2018. Vatican News (and numerous news sources) stated today that Pope
Francis will preside at the closing ceremonies on the final two days (http://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2018-03/pope-francis-to-visit-ireland-for-world-meeting-of-families.html
While most of us would like for the pope to visit Venerable
Matt Talbot’s Shrine, the brevity of his visit probably precludes it, but we can
hope that he at least acknowledges
Matt during his visit.
