Pope Francis visits Iraq

Pope Francis visited Iraq from March 5-8.  It was a journey of peace and reconciliation, and a journey that carried many risks. Ahead of the visit Pope Francis sent a message of fraternity to the people of Iraq, which you can watch below.

The Vatican News website has many articles and videos of the Pope’s Apostolic Journey to Iraq, which highlight his goal of spreading fraternity and peace between religions and countries. Check them out by clicking here.
