Pope Chooses Philadelphia For 2015 Event

Posted: Updated:
PHILADELPHIA -

Pope Benedict announced Sunday in Milan that Catholic leaders from around the world will be coming to Philadelphia in 2015.

The City of Brotherly Love will be the site of the next "World Meeting of Families."

The pontiff says he's  looking forward to seeing Archbishop Charles Chaput and other Catholics from our area.

Vatican officials say it's too early to say for sure if the pope will actually be here.

He attended a meeting of families this weekend in Milan, but skipped one in Mexico City.
