Today, the World Meeting of Families begins at the Convention Center. Over 20,000 people from more than 100 countries around the globe are in Philadelphia for the event. iRadioPhilly is streaming live today the opening ceremonies at 1 pm and then the first Keynote address at 2:30 by Father Robert Barron. You can listen in on iRadioPhilly’s Live Broadcast 1 channel.

The City of Philadelphia has estimated that it will incur more than $12 million in costs due to the papal visit this coming weekend, and the World Meeting of Families will reimburse the city for those costs. That is according to a contract signed Friday between the city and the nonprofit organization, and made public Monday night by Mayor Nutter's office.

Security for visiting dignitaries and the general public are of paramount importance this week as Philadelphia prepares for Pope Francis. Secret Service Director Joe Clancy stressed the importance of structure in order to avoid mayhem. Office buildings will be empty. Courts and schools will be closed. Hospitals have canceled elective operations. Parts of I-76, the Vine Street Expressway, and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will also be shut down for more than two days.

iRadioPhilly will carry LIVE BROADCASTS all week from the World Meeting of Families Events, Papal speeches, Festival, Concert and the Papal Mass. For more information, go to WMOF and Papal Visit Broadcasts
