Pope Leo XIV prepares South American visit to Argentina and Peru
Pope Leo XIV is preparing for a multi-country pastoral visit to South America in November. In Argentina, the Pope is scheduled to be present from November 8 to 11, visiting Buenos Aires, Luján, and Córdoba. The Argentine government is currently evaluating whether to declare a national holiday or administrative leave to facilitate mass participation by the faithful. Coordination efforts involve the Presidency, the Catholic Church, and various provincial governments, including Buenos Aires province, which has requested a formal role in the logistics and security planning.
In Córdoba, authorities are planning a massive event at the FADEA premises, which has the capacity to host up to one million people. Meanwhile, in Peru, the Pope's visit is set for November 11 to 16. A major mass is expected to take place at the Las Palmas Air Base in Lima, with attendance estimates exceeding two million people. Vatican advance commissions have already begun technical inspections in both Argentina and Peru to ensure security and logistical readiness for these large-scale religious gatherings.
