Let us come forward and grab this historical opportunity for us, Y’s Men and Y’s Ladies of the Sri Lanka Region, to see POPE FRANCIS in person. On 13th March 2013, aged 76, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was named the 266th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, becoming the first from South American to be Pope. He was the first from the Jesuit order too. He loved the name of St. Francis of Assisi. Prior to taking the election for Pope, he had served as an Archbishop and Cardinal in Argentina for more than 12 years. He was born in Buenos Aires on 17th December 1936 to Italian immigrants. When Pope Francis was a young teenager he underwent surgery to remove a lung due to a severe infection. In 1958 he commenced his priestly training to become a Jesuit. He was ordained a priest in 1969 in Argentina. He was made a Cardinal by the late Pope Blessed John Paul the 2nd . He is a very simple person who travelled in public transport for 15 years to his Episco- pal Ministries, prior to becoming Pope.

It is a great honour to represent your country. Whether it is at home or abroad, I was fortunate to tour most of the best cricketing nations around the world. Sri Lanka has always been one of the toughest places to succeed on the Test match calendar. Scoring runs or taking wickets in hot and humid conditions, takes immense powers of concentration and skill. The Sri Lankan’s have always been extremely difficult to beat on their own patch. I have the fond memories of performing in Colombo, because in 1982 I was lucky enough to play in Sri Lanka’s inaugural Test match. England managed to gain a victory in Colombo and I remember the tremendous reception we received and the outstanding hospitality of the local people. It will be fantastic to return to this exciting island and I look forward to linking up with my old England colleague and friend Allan Lamb once again.

Day 1 Airport - Colombo: About 1 Hour Drive Tintagel At the airport you will be greeted by your chauffeur guide who will take you into the capital city of Colombo. Once at the comforts of your boutique hotel, relax and recover from any jet lag atyou individually designed suite. You will soon learn that this property was the very mansion where three of Sri Lanka’s political leaders lived. After settling in, it is time to explore the city of Colombo. Visit some interesting features such as the old city of Fort, the main markets of Pettah, the Hindu Temple at Sea Street, the Dutch Church at Wolfendal, the historic Davatagaha Mosque, the Colombo Museum amongst others. Another option is to indulge in some shopping whether it is value for money clothes or impressive antiques. Later on in the day we would recommend dropping by the Checkerboard at the Galle Face Hotel for drinks while watching a picturesque sunset over the Indian Ocean. Day 2 Colombo – Victoria Golf Course & Resort: About 5 Hours Drive Clingendael Begin by teeing off on the Colombo golf course, which is over 130 years old, making it the second oldest Royal golf club outside the United Kingdom.
