The pontiff, who is on vacation at the lakeside town, will attend a classical concert in his honor on July 18.
The Pope addressed the faithful during the July 12 Angelus at Castel Gandolfo, where he is currently on vacation.
The pontiff toured the revamped 35-acre estate in a golf cart on Sept. 5 before celebrating a Liturgy of the Word in a greenhouse complex.
Singer Andrea Bocelli and his son Matteo will join in prayer with their artistic gift for the Sept. 5 event.
Castel Gandolfo, located 15 miles from Rome on the shores of Lake Albano, has historically been the site of the papal residence during the summer.
COMMENTARY: Thirty years ago, a seminar and papal Mass helped shape a priestly vocation.
The Pontiff spent a period of rest — July 6–22 — in the Italian town about 15 miles from Rome on the shores of Lake Albano.
After spending time praying in the chapel, the Holy Father personally greeted approximately 20 elderly people, all between the ages of 80 and 101.
Before concluding the audience, the Holy Father expressed his hope to meet the group again 'in a few months' for an 'ecumenical commemoration' to mark the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea.
Reflecting on the Parable of the Good Samaritan, the Pope called for a ‘revolution of love.’ This Sunday was the first time in 12 years that a pope has led the Marian prayer from the lakeside town.
