Pope Francis is set to hold an audience Friday with the College of Cardinals who elected him, in his first days as the head of the Roman Catholic Church.

Before his formal installation as pope on Tuesday, Pope Francis, a native of Argentina and the world’s first Latin American pope, is also expected to meet with journalists Saturday. On Sunday he will appear at the window of the papal apartment to recite the Angelus prayer with crowds of worshipers in St. Peter’s Square below.
