Pope makes first visit out of Rome for seven months after health scares
Sunday, 28 April 2024 Pope Francis has made his first trip out of Rome for seven months with a visit to Venice where he asked worshippers to "pray for me".
People welcome Pope Francis's visit to Venice on Sunday, the ageing pontiff's first outside Rome since last year. The Pope addressed more than 10,000 faithful seated in the vast St Mark's Square, following an earlier visit to a women's prison and an address to young Venetians.
Pope Francis outlined his green vision for the Vatican in his 'Brother Sun' letter in June. In it he said solar panels would be installed on a Vatican-owned property outside Rome and the power generated from that could supply all of Vatican City's energy needs.
