Pope Francis is due to begin his three-day Apostolic Journey to Hungary on Friday.

During his three-day visit - the 41st official trip of his papacy - the Holy Father will visit refugees and poor people, as well as with children of the Blessed László Batthyány-Strattmann Institute.

Pope Francis will address authorities, civil society and the diplomatic corps; young people; bishops, priests, deacons, consecrated persons, seminarians and pastoral workers; and representatives of the academic and cultural world.

More than half the population of Hungary are Christian, and at least 37 percent identify as Catholic.
