Pope Francis will travel to Rebibbia Women’s Prison in Rome to celebrate Holy Thursday with the inmates on March 28. The event, which begins at 4pm, will be a private celebration with no access for the public.
The Pope also visited this prison in 2015.
“Everyone can say, ‘Jesus gave up His life for me,'” Pope Francis said. “He gave his life for you, you, and you, for me, for them … For everyone, first and last name included. His love is personal.”
There, Pope Francis followed the Holy Thursday tradition of washing the feet of 12 people. All were inmates and some were women.
Francis is the third pope to visit this prison after Benedict XVI and John Paul II.
