In his four-day visit to the Philippines next week, Pope Francis will have five major events: the official welcome by President Benigno Aquino 3rd in Malacañang on Wednesday, the Thursday morning Mass for clergy and religious at the Manila Cathedral, the Mass and meeting with families that afternoon at the Mall of Asia’s SM Arena, the Saturday Mass and lunch with Yolanda victims in Tacloban, the youth Mass on Sunday morning at the Ponifitical University of Santo Tomas, and finally the 5-million-plus-strong Eucharistic celebration at Rizal Park on Sunday afternoon.
