The Vatican has announced that Pope Leo XIV will undertake a series of apostolic journeys this spring and early summer, visiting Monaco, four African nations and Spain.
In a statement released on February 25, the director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, confirmed that the Holy Father had accepted invitations from both civil and ecclesiastical authorities in the respective countries. Detailed programmes for each visit will be published in due course.
The first journey will see the Pope travel to the Principality of Monaco on March 28. Accepting the invitation of the Head of State and the Archbishop of the Principality, Leo XIV will make a one-day visit to the Mediterranean city-state, continuing a long-standing tradition of papal engagement with the historically significant Catholic principality.
