Port Louis, 29 August, 2019 / 2:46 am (ACI Africa).
Young people in Mauritius are expected to welcome Pope Francis to the Monument of Mary Queen of Peace dressed in the colors of his favorite soccer team, Club San Lorenzo de Almagro.
The red and blue t-shirts will flood the venue of the Public Papal Mass in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius where the Holy Father will be on September 9.
It is an initiative of the Diocesan Service for Youth Ministry and Vocations.
A Mauritian family has sponsored part of the cost of the t-shirts to allow young people from all parishes to have a unique souvenir with the Holy Father.
In Mauritius, the Holy Father will also have lunch with the bishops of the Episcopal Conference of the Indian Ocean, visit Father Laval's sanctuary before meeting the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister.
