Holy See confirms: Pope Francis to celebrate Mass at the Pontifical North American College

A press conference was held this morning regarding the upcoming Day of Reflection on Blessed Junipero Serra on 2 May 2015 at the Pontifical North American College in which it was officially confirmed that His Holiness Pope Francis will preside over the celebration of the Holy Mass in the chapel of the Janiculum campus.  

Following the press conference, Vatican Radio has published the schedule of the day's proceedings:

12.15  HOLY MASS, OFFICIATED BY THE HOLY FATHER, POPE FRANCIS.
