Pope says he may add Kenya leg to Africa trip in November

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis says he may add a stop in Kenya on his trip to the Central African Republic and Uganda in November.

Francis told a gathering of priests on Friday that the idea was “possible but not sure” because of organizational problems.

The trip will mark Francis’ first trip to Africa. He is currently preparing for a July trip to the three South American countries Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay. And in September he goes to Cuba and the United States.
