Pope Leo XIV to visit Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru
Vatican
First source report
Pope Leo XIV will visit Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru from November 6 to 17. The Holy See Press Office has confirmed the trip follows the pope's recent lung surgery, with medical evaluations indicating a favorable recovery and no contraindications for travel.
In Peru, the pope is scheduled to celebrate Mass on November 13 at the Pampas de Pimentel in the Diocese of Chiclayo. This date marks the anniversary of the birth of St. Augustine, a significant date for the pope's religious order, the Augustinians. The visit to Chiclayo is a return to the diocese where Robert Prevost previously served as bishop. The Archdiocese of Trujillo is currently organizing a delegation to attend the Mass, though official registration for the liturgy will be managed later by the Diocese of Chiclayo.
In Uruguay, the pope will celebrate Mass on the morning of November 8 at the Cathedral Basilica of Florida. The visit coincides with the solemnity of the Virgin of the Thirty-Three, the patroness of Uruguay.
More than 40 media professionals are accredited to accompany the papal flight, including representatives from Vatican News, EWTN, and Canção Nova.
