Pope Leo XIV to visit Uruguay and Argentina in November 2026

Pope Leo XIV Argentina visit Abel Pintos Cottolengo Don Orione national holiday

Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit Uruguay and Argentina from November 8 to November 11, 2026. In Uruguay, the Pope will arrive in Montevideo on November 6 and travel to Florida to celebrate the feast of the Virgin of the Thirty-Three on November 8 before proceeding to Argentina.

In Argentina, the government has declared November 9 a national holiday. Local holidays will also be observed in Córdoba on November 10 and in Luján on November 11. A high-level institutional event involving all 24 provincial governors is planned at Palacio Libertad.

During the visit, singer Abel Pintos has been formally invited by the Vatican to perform at the Cottolengo Don Orione in Claypole on November 9 at 9:15 AM. This institution, which cares for approximately 400 people with disabilities, is facing challenges regarding essential supplies due to government spending cuts.

Additionally, the Buenos Aires Pride March has been rescheduled to November 7 to avoid logistical conflicts with the papal arrival on November 8.
