Pope Leo XIV prepares apostolic visits to Argentina, Peru, and France
Pope Leo XIV is preparing for an extensive apostolic tour through South America and Europe. In Argentina, the Pope is scheduled to visit Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Luján between November 8 and 11. The Argentine government is currently evaluating whether to declare a national holiday or administrative leave to accommodate the massive crowds expected for these religious events. Coordination is being led by Karina Milei in conjunction with the Catholic Church.
In Peru, the visit is planned for November 11 to 17. The Peruvian Episcopal Conference has launched the 'Los Amigos de León' volunteer program to assist pilgrims. Security measures in Peru include the deployment of an aerial squadron in Cusco to ensure safety. The visit is expected to conclude in Lima with a mass at the Las Palmas Air Base on November 16, which officials estimate could draw up to two million attendees.
In France, the Pope will visit Metz on September 28, 2026, where he is expected to speak on European peace and unity. Preparations in Metz include significant security measures and local transport adjustments. Additionally, the Pope will visit Lourdes, where registration for participants has already exceeded 100,000 people.
