Faithful Can Visit Pope in Person as of Sept. 2; Had a 6-Month Hiatus of Persons Due to Virus

The Vatican announced today  (August 26, 2020) that after a nearly six-month hiatus, faithful will again be able to see Pope Francis in person beginning next week with his first public general audience since Italy lifted its lockdown to slow the spread of the coronavirus, according to the CRUX website.

Pope Francis began holding his weekly public events via livestream from the Vatican's apostolic palace since Italy's lockdown last spring.

However, the Vatican announced today that as of Wednesday, September 2, 2020, Francis will again hold his general audiences outside with faithful, free of charge.
