The Vatican has published the visual and pastoral themes of Pope Leo XIV’s forthcoming African journey.
The Apostolic Journey, scheduled for April 13–23, will take the Pope to Algeria, Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea, marking his third foreign visit since the start of his pontificate. It follows his 2025 trip to Türkiye and Lebanon and comes just weeks after a planned visit to Monaco.
In Algeria, where Christians form a small minority within a predominantly Muslim society, the imagery of two doves drinking from a shared cup is paired with the ancient Chi Rho symbol and the colours of the national flag.
