The Holy See has released the schedule for Pope Francis’ September pilgrimage to Asia and Oceania, which will be the longest journey of his papacy. During this trip, the Holy Father will visit Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore. The pilgrimage will take place from September 2 to 13, 2024.
Stolica Apostolska opublikowała program wrześniowej pielgrzymki papieża Franciszka do Azji i Oceanii. Będzie to najdłuższa podróż pontyfikatu, podczas której Ojciec Święty odwiedzi Indonezję, Papuę-Nową Gwineę, Timor Wschodni i Singapur. Pielgrzymka odbędzie się w dniach 2-13 września 2024 r.
During his travels, the Pope will deliver eleven speeches and four homilies. In each of the countries he visits, Francis will celebrate Mass, meet with clergy and youth, and learn about local charitable works. In Jakarta, he will meet with students from Scholas Occurentes; in the capital of Papua New Guinea, he will meet with street children; in East Timor, he will meet with disabled children; and in Singapore, he will meet with a group of sick and elderly individuals. There will also be two interfaith meetings, in Jakarta and Singapore. As is customary, the Pope will have private meetings with Jesuits working in these countries, and in Papua New Guinea, there will be a meeting with all the missionaries working in the region.
W czasie swej podróży papież wygłosi jedenaście przemówień i cztery homilie. W każdym z odwiedzanych krajów Franciszek odprawi Mszę św., spotka się z duchowieństwem i młodzieżą oraz pozna charakterystyczne dla danego miejsca dzieła charytatywne. W Dżakarcie spotka się z uczniami Scholas Occurentes, w stolicy Papui Nowej Gwinei z dziećmi ulicy, w Timorze Wschodnim z dziećmi niepełnosprawnymi a w Singapurze z grupą osób chorych i starszych. Odbędą się także dwa spotkania międzyreligijne – w Dżakarcie i Singapurze. Zgodnie ze zwyczajem papież spotka się prywatnie także z pracującymi w tych krajach jezuitami, natomiast w Papui Nowej Gwinei odbędzie się spotkanie z wszystkimi misjonarzami pracującymi na tym terenie.
The Holy Father will depart from Rome on September 2. The first day in Indonesia, where he will arrive on September 3, will be reserved for rest. On September 6, the Pope will travel to Papua New Guinea, which will also include an internal journey from the capital, Port Moresby, to the city of Vanimo, where he will be on September 8. On September 9, Francis will travel to the capital of East Timor and on September 11 to the city-state of Singapore. On September 13, the Holy Father will return to the Vatican.
Ojciec Święty wyruszy z Rzymu 2 września. Pierwszy dzień w Indonezji, gdzie dotrze 3 września przeznaczony jest na odpoczynek. 6 września papież wyruszy do Papui Nowej Gwinei, gdzie zaplanowano także wewnętrzną podróż ze stołecznego Port Moresby do miasta Vanimo, gdzie będzie 8 września. 9 września Franciszek uda się do stolicy Timoru Wschodniego a 11 września do państwa-miasta Singapur. 13 września Ojciec Święty powróci do Watykanu.
