Laborers in Seoul, South Korea, install a cross in front of the main gate of the Gyeongbok Palace. Pope Francis is visiting South Korea Aug. 14-18 and will celebrate Mass at Asian Youth Day, beatify Korean martyrs and preside at a Mass for national reconciliation. The Holy Father invited representatives of North Korea to join the celebration, but they have declined.
The highlights of the papal visit can be seen on NET-TV, which will break into regularly scheduled programming. NET-TV, which is operated by the DeSales Media Group, parent company of The Tablet, can be seen on Ch. 97 on Time Warner Cable, Ch. 30 on Cablevision in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island, or streamed live online (click here: www.netny.tv).
