Leave a reply

Mayor Oscar Leeser of EL Paso Texas announced today the itinerary for the El Paso Texas leg of Pope Francis visit.

According to Mayor Leeser at a news conference today at the Catholic Diocese pastoral center, this has been a huge undertaking for the 19th largest city in the U.S. Mayor Lesser emphasized that “Every department head has met regarding the Popes visit and expressed the cities readiness.”

Some 450,000 attendees are expected to witness the Popes first visit to the El Paso-Cd. Juárez area. For those not able to attend the festivities and Mass in Juárez, then the next best thing is to join Pope Francis in El Paso’s Sun Bowl, where his Mass will be simulcast. There will be no Mass and no communion at this venue.

Christian entertainers Tony Melendez and the diocesan choir will perform under the direction of Peter Kolar. Tickets will run $10 for parishioners and $15 for non-parishioners through he University of Texas (UTEP) box office. El Paso’s Sun Metro bus lines will play a large part in the transportation of thousands during the event, but the schedule or routes have not yet been determined. Next Tuesday El Paso’s City Council is scheduled to discuss this topic.

Pope Francis confirms scheduled visit to Cd. Juarez

Leave a reply

It’s official. Pope Francis is scheduled to visit Cd. Juarez, which is located directly across from El Paso Texas.

Sometime between February 12th and the 20th of 2016, the Pontiff stated that the Papal visit to Cd. Juarez is the last of four scheduled visits to Mexico, something he wanted to do as far back as last September.

According to the El Paso Times, “Juárez officials estimate that as many as 2 million people from the United States and Mexico may travel to Juárez to see the popular pontiff. The visit would be an economic boost to hotels and other businesses in the region.”

Juárez Mayor Enrique Serrano Serrano urged Juarenses to prepare themselves and invited them to open their homes to family members from out of town who plan to travel to Juárez.

Mayor Serrano said all of the municipal gymnasiums will be open on the day the pope visits and will be used as shelters for visitors who cannot find a hotel room to spend the night. Local hotels and motels, including those in El Paso Texas, expect full occupancy.

It does not appear that El Paso Texas will be on the list of scheduled visits to the border region, but is expected to host many who make the trip.

If you want to see Pope Francis, and not have to spend a lot of money or time to do so, then this will be an excellent opportunity to do so. Make plans today.
