Pope Leo XIV will visit five parishes in the Diocese of Rome during the Advent season, according to a press release from the Vicariate of Rome. The visits will take place in each of the five pastoral sectors of the diocese, similar to the schedule held during Lent.

The Pope is scheduled to visit Santo André delle Fratte in the Center sector on Friday, November 27. He will visit São Carlos da Sezze in the South sector on Sunday, November 29, Santo Elígio in the East sector on December 6, and Santa Luzia in the West sector on December 13. The final visit will occur at São Roberto Bellarmino in the North sector on December 20.

During these afternoon visits, the Pope will be received by Cardinal Vicar Baldassare Reina, the auxiliary bishop of the sector, and the local parish priest. The schedule includes meetings with parish entities and participation groups before the Pope celebrates Mass. Cardinal Reina stated that these visits will serve to carry out a pastoral evaluation within the communities.
