Pope Francis is making a historic visit to the U.S. next week.

And now there’s an app for that.

People can now text about his visit with the popemoji app, which is an application with animated GIFs and stickers featuring the pope.

The app, created by Swyft Media, has 14 gifs (animated images) and 52 stickers of Pope Francis, from him in the Popemobile, in a taxi, playing soccer and watering a garden.

Because he’ll be visiting Washington D.C., New York City and Philadelphia, the app includes Pope Francis at historic features in those locations – like him at the Statue of Liberty.

The app is part of a large social media push as part of the pope’s visit to the U.S.

SpokaneFāVS will be traveling to Philadelphia next weekend to cover Pope Francis’ visit there. Follow our coverage here.
