"Mi Paz Les Doy"

SANTIAGO – Pope Francis in on his way to Chile.

An Alitalia Boeing 777-200 ER took off from Rome’s Fiumincino-Leonardo da Vinci airport with the pope on board at 8:55 on Monday.

The Argentine pontiff is set to arrive in Santiago after a flight of almost 16 hours at 20:10 local time, just after midnight in Italy. The one-week visit, the 22nd trip abroad of Francis’s papacy and the sixth involving Latin America, will also take in Peru.

Prior to Pope’s visit to Chile, the Vatican released the details of Pope Francis’ first apostolic journey to Latin America countries.

According to Vatican officials, some of his themes on the trip will include the environment and the plight of indigenous peoples. In Pope Francis tradition, he will be meeting with his Jesuit brothers and Catholic bishops, but also the poor, the vulnerable, youth groups and indigenous communities.
