Religious activities and preparations are intensifying in the Province of Buenos Aires, specifically centered around the Basilica of Our Lady of Luján.

Initial planning focused on the 52nd Youth Pilgrimage scheduled for October 3 and 4, 2026. This event involves a 60-kilometer walk from the San Cayetano Sanctuary in Liniers to the Basilica under the theme ‘Madre, en tu abrazo nos reconocemos hermanos’. 

Subsequent developments include the scheduling of a motorcycle pilgrimage for September 12 and expanded coordination by Governor Axel Kicillof. This coordination involves provincial and municipal authorities to manage various religious events, including preparations for a planned visit by Pope Leo XIV in November, which officials have characterized as a “historic event for Argentina”.
