Vatican announces probable papal visit to Latin America in 2012

Spokesmen for the Holy See in Rome hinted that an announcement concerning the Pope's 2012 travel plans will likely be made on December 12. The Pope will celebrate a special mass on that date, in honor of the bi-centennial of the independence of Latin American nations. The date coincides with the feast of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, the most solemn religious observance on the Mexican Roman Catholic calendar.

The Holy Father has been officially invited for visits by Cuba and Mexico. Vatican sources said that he will most likely visit both countries in the spring of 2012.
