Pope Francis' Holy Thursday visit

Pope Francis will continue his annual tradition of celebrating the liturgy on Holy Thursday in places other than the Vatican.  This year, on Thursday, 29 March, at 4:00pm local time (11:00am EDT), His Holiness will visit Rome's Regina Coeli Prison, where he will celebrate the Mass of the Lord's Supper.

The Holy Father's visit will include a meeting with the sick prisoners, the celebration of the Eucharist during which the Pope will wash the feet of 12 prisoners in the Rotonda and a meeting with some prisoners from Section VIII of the prison.
