As announced by the Vatican before, Pope Francis is visiting the Kingdom of Morocco in March. This visit, according to Morocco’s Archbishop Cristobal Lopez, is a «great event for the church but also a very demanding two day visit full of meaningful meetings».

Commenting on the itinerary of the Pope’s visit, expected in March, the Archbishop of Rabat said that he is visiting Morocco as a «person of good will who wants to meet everyone», reports Vatican News.

«For everyone, he presents himself as a servant of hope. He comes to fill us with hope, to give us strength, to recover from discouragement, to instill enthusiasm, he comes to announce the Gospel to us», said the Archbishop who has been ministering since 2003 in the Kingdom.

For the record, Pope Francis is expected to visit a migrant center, run by the charity Caritas and a social center managed by the Daughters of Charity.

The Pope will visit the Mohammed VI Institute which trains Imams. He will also meet King Mohammed VI and the Morocco’s Bishops.
