The Vatican announced March 27, 2019, that Pope Francis will travel to Madagascar, Mauritius, and Mozambique in September 2019.

He said the Pope will visit the cities of Maputo in Mozambique, Antananarivo in Madagascar and Port Louis in Mauritius. The programme for the visit will be published in due time. Pope Francis travels to the three nations as a pilgrim of peace, hope, and reconciliation, all themes that are reflected in the official logos of the journey.
