Pope Francis makes historic visit to Corsica, with focus on regional crisis, popular piety

Quick Summary:

AJACCIO, Corsica—Pope Francis’ one-day visit to the French island of Corsica on Sunday, two days before his 88th birthday, puts a dual focus on the Mediterranean, highlighting local traditions of popular piety on the one hand and migrant deaths and wars on the other.

After the conference address, he will travel to the 17th-century cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta to meet with clergy, stopping along the way at the statue of the Madunnuccia.

It is Francis’ third trip to France, each time avoiding Paris and the protocols that a state visit entails.
