Update on the Pope's Visit and the World Meeting of Families

The registration for the World Meeting of Families is now open! Philadelphia looks forward to welcoming internationally-renowned Catholic speakers in addition to speakers from other religious faiths. In a genuinely international spirit, 30% of the speakers come from outside North America. It is truly an event for everyone!

Please note that the Holy Father will not be attending the World Meeting of Families Congress. The Congress ends on Friday September 25th, and the Pope is expected to be in Philadelphia on Saturday, September 26th through Sunday, September 27th. Attending the Papal Events does not require registration.
