Pope emeritus Benedict XVI will visit his family's gravesite and his former home in Pentling, Germany, in the afternoon on Saturday.
According to a June 20 statement from the Diocese of Regensburg, the former pope will visit the residence where he lived as "Professor Ratzinger" from 1970 to 1977.
He last time seeing the home was during his 2006 pastoral trip to Bavaria. Pentling is just outside Regensburg.
The diocese said Benedict XVI will then visit the Ziegetsdorf cemetery to spend some time in prayer at the graves of his parents and sister.
