Cuba Pope
In this photo taken on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2015, Pope Francis is greeted by faithful as he enters the San Cristobal Cathedral, Havana, Cuba. Francis presided over the evening prayer service in Havana's 18th century cathedral, where he broke from prepared remarks and spoke off-the-cuff at length for the first time during his trip to Cuba.

Pope Francis is set to make his first visit to the United States this week, and he’s got a packed schedule. Francis arrives in Washington, D.C. Tuesday, travels to New York City on Thursday, then wraps up his trip with a weekend jaunt to Philadelphia.

Looking to watch Pope Francis’ masses, sermons and parades live while he’s here? You’re in luck. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops will stream the entirety of the Pope’s visit online. There’s even a mobile app for your Pope-on-the-go needs.

Another option? Time Warner Cable is launching a temporary channel dedicated to Francis’ visit.
