Even after having just returned from an intense Apostolic Visit to Mexico, Pope Francis is ready to hold his second Jubilee Audience Saturday morning in St. Peter’s Square, reported Vatican Radio.

More than 25,000 people affiliated with the Italian Federation of Blood Donors, who will be holding their Jubilee Pilgrimage, will attend.

The organization is using the occasion to celebrate the success their organization has had since they participated in Jubilee Year of 2000 with St. Pope John Paul II.

The national president of the organization, Aldo Ozino Caligaris, noted that since the Jubilee of 2000, the transfusion system has been profoundly changed and recommended people consider giving blood this Jubilee Year.
