Pope Francis is set to make his first visit to the United States this week, and he’s got a packed schedule. Francis arrives in Washington, D.C. Tuesday, travels to New York City on Thursday, then wraps up his trip with a weekend jaunt to Philadelphia.
Looking to watch Pope Francis’ masses, sermons and parades live while he’s here? You’re in luck. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will stream the entirety of the Pope’s visit online. There’s even a mobile app for your Pope-on-the-go needs.
Another option? Time Warner Cable is launching a temporary channel dedicated to Francis’ visit.
