Will Pope Francis come to Corsica on December 14 and 15?

The rumor has been roaming the streets of Ajaccio (Southern Corsica) for several weeks. The coming of Pope Francis to Corsica on December 14 and 15 is “under study” according to the Vatican, according to our colleagues from the daily La Croix and Corse Matin.

The Holy Father could participate in the closing of the conference on “Popular Religiosity in the Mediterranean” organized by the diocese. These two days dedicated to popular religious traditions in the Mediterranean include meeting times at the Hotel Campo dell’Oro.

A closing mass is planned for Sunday, December 15 at 11 a.m. at Notre-Dame-de l’Assomption Cathedral, in Ajaccio. If his arrival is confirmed, Francis could celebrate it.
