“Mother Teresa” will host the Pope

In this square is planned to be held the Holy Mass, the Holy Father’s sermon, prayer of the angel to God, as well as the Holy Father’s words which will be forwarded to thousands of people expected to gather on this important day.

At a City Council meeting held in late July was approved the extension of a fund of 3.3 million dollars by the Municipality for the restoration of Mother Teresa Square.

Municipality of Tirana sources say that the intervention begins with the removal of perennial fountain, which for years has played the role of a roundabout, where will be built a water mirror with two fountains on its side.

They will also restore the facade of the building of Polytechnic University and the stairs of the Rectorate.

Besides these facilities, they will also restore the facade of the National Museum, where are already placed scaffolds Saturday morning.

According to sources in Tirana Municipality, work will be carried out during August and the first weeks of September, rapidly, so that everything is ready for the first visit of Pope Francesku in Albania.

Apostolic Journey of His Holiness, Pope Francesku, which will take place in Tirana on September 21 predicts a busy agenda that will last 11 hours in our country. He leaves at 7:30 from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Mother Teresa International Airport in Tirana, where he will be expected from Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Then under a strict security, enabled by the Vatican and the Albanian state, the Pope will travel to the presidency in the capital where he will hold a meeting with the President and other authorities of the country.

At 11:00 in Mother Theresa Square, Pope Francesku will hold the holy mass. During his trip to Albania, the Pope will move with a simple open car given by our authorities and not with the white car he has been seen to move during his visits to other countries.

He will hold meetings with bishops in Tirana and heads of other faiths. In the Pope’s agenda is also planned a visit to the children’s center Bethany in Fushe-Kruje.

From Fushe Kruje he will travel to Mother Teresa Airport where will be held a departure ceremony for the Pope that ends his visit in our country. At 20:00 o’clock, Pope Francesku leaves for Rome.

This is the second visit of a Pope, after the visit of Pope John Paul II in April 1993.
