Pope Leo XIV will visit Argentina in November: details of a historic agenda
Argentina is preparing to welcome Pope Leo XIV, who will make his first official visit to the country since the beginning of his pontificate. The trip, which will extend from November 8 to 11, marks a historic milestone, as it represents the return of a supreme pontiff to Argentine soil after almost four decades, the last visit being the one made by John Paul II in 1987.
A delegation from the Holy See is working in Buenos Aires together with government authorities and members of the Argentine Episcopal Conference to finalize the logistical and security details of this high-profile visit.
Key meetings and official agenda
The pontiff’s agenda includes meetings of great political and social relevance. After his arrival on Sunday, November 8, a private meeting with President Javier Milei is scheduled. Likewise, the Pope will pay tribute to General José de San Martín and will participate in a diplomatic event at the Palacio Libertad.
- Monday, November 9: Visit to the Cottolengo Don Orione, mass gathering at the Monument to the Spaniards, ecumenical meeting at the San Martín Palace, and a dialogue with unions, business leaders, and social movements at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina.
- Tuesday, November 10: The Pope will travel to the province of Córdoba to preside over a mass at the Argentine Aircraft Factory (FAdeA) and share a space with religious figures. Upon returning to the capital, he will lead a vigil with young people.
- Wednesday, November 11: The conclusion of the visit will be in the city of Luján, where the pontiff will officiate a mass in front of the sanctuary of the Virgin of Luján, patron saint of Argentina.
The visit of Leo XIV to Argentina not only has a profound religious significance, but is also awaited with great expectation by various sectors of society, who are awaiting the official confirmation of the definitive schedule from the Vatican.
As the date approaches, authorities continue to coordinate the necessary measures to ensure the success of the activities in the different parts of the country, consolidating what promises to be one of the most significant events of the year for the South American nation.
