The Catholic Bishops Conference today launched the logo and official website, papalvisitpng.com for Pope Francis's visit to PNG this September.

The website launched will allow for attendees of the 19 archdioceses in the country including the Solomon Islands to register and confirm their attendance.

Registration is now open with the launch of the website narrative.

Chairperson of the papal committee, Bishop Rosario Menezes says a team from the Vatican is expected to arrive in the country next month to oversee the preparation of the holy fathers visit and set a tentative program.

Meantime the Catholic Bishops Conference of PNG and Solomon Islands is working closely with the PNG government for the papal visit.
