In a note signed by Abel Toglo, the Apostolic Nunciature in Haiti announces that it took note, on August 29, 2018, of a fake message circulating on social networks, announcing Pope Francis' next visit to Haiti from September 4th to 6th.

During the same day a false release attributed to his Excellency the Most Reverend Eugene Martin Nugent Apostolic Nuncio of the Catholic Clergy, was also published urging all to prepare for the reception of the Holy Father on September 2nd.

"The Apostolic Nunciature in Haiti deplores this deliberately false and misleading information, it disapproves of such acts and urges the population to be vigilant and to pray at such manipulations while inviting the faithful Catholics and all the Haitian people to keep their serenity.

By invoking abundantly the light of the Lord and the grace of conversion on the authors of these false information, the Apostolic Nunciature in Haiti takes this opportunity to renew to the Haitian people its closeness in Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life."
