Pope Leo XIV to visit Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will proceed with his scheduled apostolic journey to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru from November 6 to 17, 2026, according to a statement from the Holy See Press Office. The confirmation comes two weeks after the pope underwent surgery to remove a lung tumor at Gemelli Hospital in Rome on October 13.

Dr. Luigi Carbone, the pope's physician, stated that current clinical tests and laboratory results show no contraindications for the trip. Medical reports indicate the surgery to remove the lower lobe of the right lung was successful and that the disease was localized, meaning no further cancer treatment is required.

Since returning to the Vatican on October 17, the pope has gradually resumed his duties while following medical advice to prioritize recovery. The Holy See noted that he has maintained public appearances and important commitments while reserving time for rest.

In a message released by the Press Office, Pope Leo XIV expressed his joy at returning to the continent where he previously served as a missionary and a bishop. He stated he hopes the journey serves as an opportunity to strengthen communion among the faithful and renew their commitment to the Gospel.
