Apostolic Journey of His Holiness to Tirana (Albania) 21 September 2014

Pope Francis

The Holy Father's trip to Tirana (Albania) was his fourth international trip, but the first to a European country outside of Italy. The trip focused on the importance of dialogue with Islam, as the Muslim-majority nation with a notable Christian presence, provides a fitting context for the theme. Other themes included a homage to the martyrs of faith, victims of the communist regime, and the memory of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who was born in Albania.
