Join Pope Francis on Friday, March 27 for a special Urbi et Orbi blessing live from St. Peter's Square. The prayer and blessing will be broadcast on the Vatican News website (https://www.vaticannews.va/en.html) at 6pm Rome time, 9 a.m. Alaska Time.
May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us! Every five years bishops throughout the world are required to travel to Rome in what is called a visit “ad limina Apostolorum” to pray at the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul, meet with the Holy Father and consult with him on the state of their dioceses and the faithful they shepherd.
