Pope Leo XIV to visit five Roman parishes during Advent

Pope Leo XIV will conduct a series of pastoral visits to five parishes across the different sectors of the Diocese of Rome during the Advent season. The schedule, announced by the Vicariate of the Diocese of Rome, follows a pattern similar to his visits during last year's Lent.

The tour begins on November 27 at Sant’Andrea delle Fratte in central Rome. Subsequent visits are scheduled for San Carlo da Sezze in the south on November 29, Sant’Eligio in the east on December 6, Santa Lucia in the west on December 13, and San Roberto Bellarmino in the north on December 20.

Each afternoon visit will include meetings with parish councils and various community groups, followed by the celebration of the Eucharist. Cardinal Baldo Reina, the Vicar of Rome, noted that these visits serve as an opportunity for pastoral verification requested by the Pontiff during the diocesan assembly.
