The office of Portugal's president says Pope Benedict XVI will visit the Fatima shrine next year.

A statement says the pope will preside at the Portuguese shrine's annual May 13 ceremonies.

Three shepherd children claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary during apparitions in Fatima in 1917, the first time on May 13 of that year. The shrine is visited by millions of pilgrims each year.

The last visit to Fatima by the head of the Roman Catholic Church was by Pope John Paul II nine years ago. Other possible trips by Pope Benedict XVI next year include to Malta and Britain.
