PopeWatch: Marrying Time

VATICAN-POPE-AUDIENCE

 

Just in time for the Synod on the Family:

 

Pope Francis will preside over his first wedding ceremony as pontiff during a nuptial Mass in St Peter’s Basilica on September 14.

The Vatican confirmed today that 20 couples from the Diocese of Rome will be married by the Pope, the Bishop of Rome.

The papal Mass celebrating the couples’ marriage will come just a few weeks before the start of the extraordinary synod of bishops on the family on October 5-19.

Go here to read the rest.  It will be interesting to read the Pope’s homily when this is done.
