The Pope concludes his trip to Kazakhstan, goes to Santa Maria in Rome – Vatican News

Pope Francis went to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, in the center of Rome, to pray on the morning of September 16 after his usual pastoral visit to Kazakhstan.

(Vatican News Network)Pope Francis concluded his pastoral visit to Kazakhstan on 15 September. His special plane arrived at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport at 8:01 pm Rome time that day. On the morning of the 16th of the following day, the Pope went to the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in the center of Rome, prayed in front of the Statue of the Mother of the Help of the Roman People, and then returned to the Vatican.

It has become Pope Francis’ practice to go to the Basilica of Our Lady before and after each international pastoral visit. After completing his 38th international pastoral visit to Kazakhstan, the Pope also wishes to express once again his thanks to Our Lady, whom the Roman people have always loved, and because his journey will bear fruit in the future. One of the main purposes of the Pope’s visit was to participate in the VII Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions.

Since taking office in March 2013, Pope Francis has prayed for a moment before the Holy Mother of the Salvation of the Roman People in Notre Dame Basilica before and after each international visit. Pope Francis has visited Santa Maria in the heart of Rome more than 90 times.
