Meet the Pope (and Play Ping Pong in the Vatican) for $25,000

[Dpoc41]

A tour of the Vatican is certainly a bucket list experience, but tacking on a visit with the Pope is downright heavenly. No, this isn’t some miraculous apparition: Luxury experience travel marketplace If Only is offering a vacation package where you can meet Pope Francis—for $25,000, that is.

The offering includes a meet-and-greet with his Holiness before his public address on August 31 in St. Peter’s Square during the Killerspin World UnPlugNPlay Festival at the Vatican, a six-day long series of ping pong tournaments and technology talks beginning August 29. The otherworldly price tag also includes a private tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, cocktails and dinner at the Connect21 Ping Pong Diplomacy Event, and a three-day stay at the luxurious seaside Forte Village Resort in Sardinia after attending the festival. cntraveler.com/story/meet-the-pope-and-play-ping-pong-in-the-vatican-for-25000

In case anyone was wondering. The Vatican event is a non-profit fundraiser for charity:

“In keeping with Pope Francis’ lifelong dedication to public welfare, this experience will benefit Best Buddies, a nonprofit dedicated to providing opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.”

A year or so back, the pope had said something about all the new friends he developed after becoming pope. If I ever meet him, he can be assured that we will part not as friends.

Why would you say such a thing about the Vicar of Christ?

Thank you Father, in Jesus name, amen.

This money will be used to help others.


Viva papa francesco

Wh …?! In the Vatican, a really good overhead smash can leave the country!

Do they have wiffle pong balls?

- *If I paid $50,000 could I meet “both” Popes and skip the ping pong? *

Something doesn’t feel right about this. Charity or not. One should not be able to buy a one on one with the pope.
I don’t have that kInd of cash but I’d love to personally meet the pope!
