Goa minister Mauvin Godinho on Tuesday said that Pope Francis, head of the Roman Catholic Church, was likely to visit India «sooner than expected». Recalling that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invited Pope Francis, Godinho said Goa would certainly be on his itinerary when he visits India.
The state transport minister was talking to reporters after attending a religious mass in Old Goa during the ongoing decennial exposition of the sacred relics of St Francis Xavier, the patron saint of the coastal state.
The feast of St Xavier was being celebrated in Goa on Tuesday.
«You may recall that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invited Pope Francis. Now, I think it is a foregone conclusion that we can expect him to visit India sooner than expected,»Godinho said.
During the Outreach session of the G7 Summit in Apulia, southern Italy, in June this year, PM Modi invited Pope Francis to visit India.
