HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg plans to sell bus tickets for parishioners who wish to see Pope Francis when he visits Philadelphia in September.

The tickets going on sale Tuesday are $30 each, with a limit of four per family. Other dioceses around the state are also offering various travel packages for the pope's visit the week of Sept. 23. That's when Pope Francis will appear at the International Meeting of Families.

Those buying tickets must be a member of a parish in the Harrisburg diocese.
