Initial plans are in the works for Pope Francis to visit Washington D.C. this September, according to News4's Tom Sherwood.
Sources close to the Catholic Church tell Sherwood the Pope is initially planning to speak to a joint session of Congress around Sept. 23, and during the trip to the Nation's Capital, would host an event at the Basilica in Northeast Washington.
The Archdiocese would not confirm the Pope's visit Wednesday night, telling News4, "There has not been any official announcement of a papal visit and [we] have no information to share at this time."
The Pope is scheduled to hold an outdoor service Sept. 27 in Philadelphia that could draw hundreds of thousands of people.
