Papal Visit - Itinerary
Below we include some key information about the Papal visit. Further information can be found at the special papal visit website
Thursday 16 September - Scotland
When Pope Benedict arrives in the UK, he will visit Scotland where he will be received by Her Majesty The Queen, members of the Royal Family and people representing British society in the Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh.
Having met the Queen, the Pope will travel to Glasgow where he will celebrate an open-air Mass at Bellahouston Park in the evening and then he will fly from Glasgow to London. The Holy Father will then be based in London for the remainder of the visit.
Friday 17 September London
On the second day of the visit, Pope Benedict is going to St Mary's University College, Twickenham, where there will be three aspects to his visit. The first is that he begins the day praying with representatives of religious congregations - particularly those who have a charism for education and a history of education.
He will then go and meet 3,000 young people - schoolchildren, students - to celebrate Catholic education. From there he will then meet with religious leaders and people of religious faith in the Waldegrave Drawing Room and Walpole House. He will discuss with them religion and belief in our society.
Later in the day, the Pope is scheduled to meet the Archbishop of Canterbury at Lambeth Palace in the presence of the Anglican diocesan bishops and the Catholic diocesan bishops of England and Wales.
He has then been invited, as part of the State visit, to address British society in Westminster Hall.
He will finish the day with the Archbishop of Canterbury and Christian leaders at Westminster Abbey to celebrate Evening Prayer. The Holy Father will pray at the tomb of the Unknown Warrior and also at the Shrine of St Edward the Confessor.
Saturday 18 September London
On the third day of the visit, Pope Benedict will celebrate Mass in Westminster Cathedral where he will also, from there, greet the people of Wales.Later in the day he will visit a home for older people, giving the Pope an opportunity to go to those who otherwise could not meet him, and then be present at an open air Vigil of Prayer in London's Hyde Park.
Sunday 19 September Birmingham
The final day of the visit is focussed very much on the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman, and the Pope will celebrate that beatification in Cofton Park in Birmingham - adjacent, fittingly, to Rednal where Cardinal Newman was buried.
Pope Benedict will conclude the day by meeting with the bishops of England, Scotland and Wales in Oscott College before returning to Rome from Birmingham Airport.
