Pope Francis visited North America—Cuba and the United States—from 19 to 27 September 2015.[1][2] It was his first state visit to both Cuba and the U.S.,[3] as well as the third official papal visit to Cuba and the seventh to the United States since the U.S. established full diplomatic relations with the Holy See in 1984.[4][5][6][7]

The published itinerary from the Vatican described the trip: "Apostolic Journey of His Holiness Pope Francis to Cuba and the United States of America, and Visit to the United Nations Organization Headquarters, on the occasion of his participation at the Eighth World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia."[8]
