The World Meeting of Families released Sunday a 30-second video invitation from Pope Francis to join him here.
"I look forward to greeting the pilgrims and the people of Philadelphia when I come for the World Meeting of Families. I will be there because you will be there! See you in Philadelphia!" the pontiff said in English.
In a statement, Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said, "His personal call to each of us and his desire to be with all during his visit to Philadelphia is deeply moving."
The pope's personal message, which the World Meeting of Families called "unprecedented," will be integrated into its "I'll Be There" campaign and will be seen in eight additional markets in Pennsylvania besides Philadelphia, and along the East Coast. See the video at https://goo.gl/jWXrxu
