Pope Leo XIV received 400 participants in an audience at the Vatican Apostolic Palace on Friday morning to mark the 150th anniversary of the Faculty of Canon Law at the Pontifical Gregorian University. The audience took place during an international conference held from October 20 to 24, 2026.

The Pope greeted the rector, dean, professors, lecturers, and students, noting that the faculty was established on August 16, 1876, following a mandate from Pope Pius IX. He stated that the faculty's creation fulfilled a long tradition of legal study within the Roman College and the Society of Jesus.

During the meeting, the Pope encouraged students to gain a living experience of the relationship between the universal Church and the Bishop of Rome.
