Archbishop working for 2013 papal visit

Pope Benedict XVI may be visiting the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2013 for the 1150th anniversary of Cyril and Methodius at Velehrad in Moravia. The Archbishop of Prague, Dominik Duka, told the Czech Press Agency on Saturday that he would be working to make the trip a reality. A delegation of Church officials will be travelling to the Vatican in September to thank the pope for his visit to the Czech Republic last year and the archbishop intends to invite the pontiff again on that occasion. The visit, he said, would likely be very brief as Benedict will likely be visiting a number of places.
