Pope Francis will make the first-ever visit by a pope to Iraq next year, visiting five places, including Baghdad, Irbil and Mosul between March 5-8, the Vatican said on Monday.
“The program of the Journey will be made known in due course, and will take into consideration the evolution of the worldwide health emergency, spokesman Matteo Bruni said in statement.
Iraq has welcomed Pope Francis 2021 visit as ‘message of peace.’
