Everywhere Pope Francis goes, he touches the lives of many — Christians or not. Later this month, he will touch the lives of those who are in the United States. So where exactly will Pope Francis be when he visits the country?

Pope Francis starts his U.S. visit on Sept. 22 and will cover three states in his five-day visit. The leader of the Catholic Church will start off with a quick meet-and-greet with U.S. President, Barack Obama, as he arrives from Rome to the Joint Base Andrews at 4 p.m. on Sept. 22.

The next item on his itinerary is already the next day, Sept. 23, at 9:15 a.m., when the President will officially welcome him to the White House.

On the 24th, the Pope will still be in Washington and will start off his day at 10 a.m. with a joint session of the Senate and House.
