Pope's program in Brazil for WYD
will include visit to Aparecida

July 22
The Pope will arrive in Brazil on Monday 22 July. The official reception will be at Rio de Janeiro/Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International Airport, at 4pm. Soon after, there will be a Papal Welcoming Ceremony at the garden of the Palácio Guanabara, where the Pope will give his first speech.
At the event, there will be a ceremonial reception of the three branches of government. The reception protocol will be made by President of Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, as well as the Governor of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Sérgio Cabral, and the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes.
The Holy Father will stay at the Residência do Sumaré (Sumaré Residence) during his trip to Brazil. The residence was where Blessed John Paul II stayed during his two visits to Brazil in 1980 and 1997. It’s a quiet place, away from the rush of the city. Besides Pope Francis, the residence will also host the whole papal entourage, which will include about 40 people.
July 23
[The news release does not say so but no events are scheduled for Tuesday, July 23, Pope Francis's first full day in Brazil. The 36-hour rest is similar to the 24-hour period between Benedict XVI's arrival in Mexico last March and his first official event after the airport welcome. The interval provides not just a rest period after a transcontinental flight but also allows the Pope's biorhythm to adjust itself to a different time zone. When Benedict XVI travelled to Sydney in 2008, he required a three-day adjustment period.]
July 24
The Holy Father will visit the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida on Wednesday, 24 July. It is the largest Marian shrine in the world.
