SpokaneFāVS will be traveling to Philadelphia at the end of this month to cover Pope Francis’ first visit the United States.

So far, FāVS has found one Spokane family — the Finleys — who will also be attending the papal visit. They’ll be there at the invitation of Philadelphia’s Archbishop Charles J. Chaput to speak on a panel at the World Meeting of Families.

Will you also be traveling to see the pope? FāVS wants to know! We’re looking for people from the Eastern Washington/North Idaho region who will be at the World Meeting of Families this month to see Pope Francis. If that’s you,  or someone you know, email tracysimmons@favs.news.

You can follow our coverage of the papal visit on this page, which will be updated regularly from Philadelphia.
