For the first time, Pope Francis is making a historic visit to the United States beginning today, with stops planned in Washington, D.C., New York City and Philadelphia throughout the weekend-and many are excited about the Pontiff's trip.

For those who can't catch him in person but still want to see his masses and sermons, or the parades being thrown in his honor, there are still ways to see the events,.

Watch The Pope's Visit Online

The entirety of the Pope's visit is being streamed online by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops-from his landing at Joint Base Andrews in D.C. today, to his meetings with President Obama and the United States Congress, as well as his New York stops in the United Nations, 9/11 Memorial and Central Park, and his mass at Madison Square Garden. His visit to Philadelphia will also be part of the stream, until he departs for Rome again on Sunday.

Witness The Events Via A Mobile App

The literal Pope App, available on both iOS and Android platforms, features headlines from the Vatican's state media, his latest tweets, and the live streams of his events-including the ones from this visit. It can also be set in several languages, including English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Watch On A Special Papal Visit Channel

Time Warner Cable subscribers can watch the events uninterrupted on a special Papal Visit Channel, Channel 199. The channel began broadcasting the visit when Pope Francis initially arrived in Cuba.
