VATICAN CITY, Sept. 19 Pope Benedict XVI is planning to visit Washington as part of an apostolic journey to the United States, Vatican sources say.

While Vatican officials have confirmed the Roman Catholic pontiff anticipates making a speech to the United Nations in April, they have not confirmed Benedict will stop in Washington during his U.S. visit, The Washington Times said Wednesday.

A report from the Catholic News Agency had Benedict stopping in Washington at the beginning of his U.S. visit, which is thought to be set for next April.

Other reported locations the pope may visit during his trip include Boston, New York and Baltimore. One Vatican source said a large number of U.S. dioceses have asked the head of the Catholic Church to visit during his stay.

"There have been so many cities mentioned as possible stops on the trip that he cannot possibly visit them all," the unidentified source told the Times.
